The MegaPara DX is a highly-versatile, 4-band parametric EQ pedal with high and low-pass filters, for electric, acoustic and bass guitar.
This is essentially a single-channel version of the MotherPara pedal.
The MegaPara DX features four bell-curve parametric EQ bands (with the high and low bands being switchable to shelving filters), fully-independent high and low-pass filters, ground lift, phase invert and input pad switches.
Features:
•4 bands ranging from 30Hz to 20KHz, to suit bass, electric or acoustic guitar.
•Switchable Bell-curve/Shelf modes on High and Low bands (+/-15dB gain in both modes).
•High and low pass filters.
•Pad or boost the input by 10dB (true input pad preserves impedance).
•Phase invert switch.
•Ground lift switch.
•True Bypass.
•Very low noise. -105dB.
Specifications:
•Operating Voltage: 9-18V DC mains adaptor (not included). 18V recommended.
•Current Draw: ~50mA.
•Input/Output Impedance: 1 Megaohm/100 ohm.
•Parametric Frequency Ranges: 30-500Hz, 120Hz-2KHz, 500Hz-10KHz, 1-16KHz.

This pedal does not use a voltage doubler, because unbeknownst to a surprising number of manufacturers, voltage doublers contain oscillators which mean they are illegal to include in products in some jurisdictions without pricy FCC certification. Additionally, such circuitry can be prone to inducing high-frequency noise and distortion. This pedal does contain circuitry to ensure that your 9 or 18V power supply is rock-solid and well-filtered, and headroom is maximised at both 9 and 18V.
My ethos has always been to create effective, intuitive, reliable and fairly-priced pedals. A good piece of music equipment will allow you to achieve the sounds you hear in your mind without confusion or frustration.
Sine Effect pedals are designed using both my own experience as a musician and input from hundreds of artists who have been kind enough to try Sine Effect pedals over the years.
You'll find the best prices here at SineEffect.com, though my pedals can also be purchased from Reverb, eBay and Etsy.
Received the item today, securely packed. It's a thing of beauty, both aesthetically and sonically, and built to outlast me. Stellar customer service. Kudos, Grant!
Incredible little pedal! I bought this to use live with bass/double bass. It makes the amp sound so much clearer and gets rid of any boomy mud. Super fast delivery!
First of all, thanks for the super fast delivery and secondly I'm blown away by what an amazing quality pedal this is.
