What a refreshing and inspirational video! Most of the time, I see discussions and videos on using delay and reverb pedals with synths, while EQ pedals are quite underrated. Thanks for sharing this with us!
Thanks Marek! Glad you were inspired by the video :)
Really impressed about this pedal eq, sounds record instantly when you press ON. Excellent !
Agreed Nikola! I agree, it's surprisingly become one of my favourite pedal - thanks for watching.
Before and After 😃 Incredible 👌 What an Intro and as Always 💯 What a Demo 🤩 Awesome Effects Pedal 💯 Awesome Video ❤ 🙌
Glad you liked it!
Just when i thought i don’t need another pedal. Amazing demo!!
Thank you!
Great demo
Thanks so much and welcome! Tons more pedal and synth demos here!
Awesome. I picked up some good pointers. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
I owned the original Para eq, from 10 years ago, by Mepress, and it was INCRDIBLE>
Lucky you! They were so hard to find that's why they made this. Great pedals!
@@MilesAwayOfficial I agree there is COMPLETE MAGIC in their EQs....
Amazing pedal any stereo pedals similar to this u suggest? All i have is stereo based , thanks
Not that I know of if you want analog! I would kill for a stereo version of this!
This isn't a negative lol, I love everything about this. I just wonder sometimes why everyone seems opposed to rack gear. It is so cleaner when everything is off the table or floor imo
Edit: I guess he kinda covered it for a sec lol and that pedal sounds amazing!
Rack gear is awesome! Bucket list to own a real stereo Distressor one day, and a real 1176 (my two fave compressors ever). I also really enjoy my little 500 series rack for vocals. But, for playing live, and for in the moment sound design, pedals are king IMO. Thanks for watching and welcome to the channel!
Will this work with using a midi piano (not synth) but for equing regular keyboard play?
You would need an audio interface to send out sound from your daw/midi keyboard triggers, in through the pedal then out back into your computer
So 900€ to have a stereo EQ with built-in amp? Is this worth the price?
maybe a tough sell to get 2 but for one of them it's definitely worth it, for me at least. It's less than half the price of 500 series rack gear, and less than a quarter of traditional analog rack gear. For pure analog EQ with 7 bands, its a steal
I have the first edition and love it for synths & drums always been tempted by a second, but bought this Russian beast of a stereo PEQ pedal that has been freezing in Siberia (seriously!!!) since the 50’s 😮 need to find the right adapter but am kinda scared to plug it in ⚠!!
That's such a cool find! Good luck! What's it called?
@@MilesAwayOfficial well was struggling because its in Russian!
But ive just looked through my reverb history & its an Elektronika E-02 (1985 not 50s got that wrong)
USSR era, have read that we use the same voltage in the u.k or near enough but need to replace the cable & find an adapter.
Cool thing is its got faders for each channel. Looking forward to it but slighty apprehensive!!!
Officially my oddest pedal!
There are no phasing issues when using 2 for stereo ?
Nope, none that I encountered
@MilesAwayOfficial awesome ... found your channel a few weeks ago man .. I've been making computer music since FL was called fruityloops .. collected some hardware and synths in late 2000s and sold it all when computers could actually start to handle lots of RAM ... all I can say is you inspired me to spend 5k at Sweetwater this week ... cheers brother lol
might be dumb question, but is the input/output on this mono?
i guess him using 2 of the pedals in the latter part of the vid kinda answers this for me.
yea mono!
Must have
Hope you enjoy it!
man all modern pedals should be stereo.
Agreed for digital, but for analog like this it literally would double every single part required and make it bigger and more expensive.
Why do you have 2 of them?
Stereo!
@@MilesAwayOfficial thank you!
Is it stereo?
no it's mono, which is why I'm using 2 in the stereo synth demo. a stereo version would have to be larger and much more expensive since it's 2x all the filters.
@@MilesAwayOfficial I was in denial. Yea, I see it. Been hopping for a stereo EQ pedal from the likes of Empress or Strymon for a while now.
there are probably better tools to buy it one has digital mixer / interface with 4-band PEQ
I think for an analog EQ this is pretty hard to beat price/sound wise but I definitely agree, a big rack or mixer EQ is probably better ergonomically to use
@@MilesAwayOfficial what I meant is that one can probably get very similar result with digital mixer eq + some sort of overdrive unit for maybe 1/4 price of dual Para EQ and get something more exciting for those remaining 3/4 😁 great tips anyways, it inspired me to unlink the stereo channels and experiment with tweaking each channel slightly differently
I dont get it, using two mono, why not buy an stereo EQ? a "deluxe" version witch still mono 😂 i'll pass.
because it's analog circuitry, you'd need literally twice as many capacitors and transistors, you can't just add a second input and output for true stereo.
@@MilesAwayOfficial Boss EQ-200 Graphic Eq seems a better option for stereo, demo'd by Daniel Fisher: "EQ - The Most Powerful Synth Tool You're Not Using"
@@Dolle_Man GEQs are not that useful for sculpting sounds as PEQs.
Meh. I bought and returned it. It sounded better when it was bypassed- fuller. Never really got good tones out of it (guitar.) Could just be me but I did try- watched videos. It was quite at least. Maybe good if around $100- no way $349- at least not for me.
That's fair! EQ on guitar isn't something I use much for tracking either, just in post after. That's why I demo'd this with synths, I think its great for that.
Could you please reply to my emails? Thanks
let me check if my manager received something from ya as I don't have anything in my supmilesaway email!
@@MilesAwayOfficial great, thanks
@@MilesAwayOfficial I used the mgmt. email, is there a better one to try?
Cool video. But I'm not a castaway. Don't call me that.
It’s the name the viewers of my channel voted to call themselves for the whole group! Hope I didn’t offend you
