Seymour Duncan Paranormal Bass EQ/D.I. Effect Pedal

Seymour Duncan Paranormal Bass EQ/D.I. Effect Pedal

Like all DIs, the Paranormal sports a balanced line out XLR jack (with ground lift) so you can feed a front-of-house mixing board or a recording console with no loss of signal. But that’s where the similarities end, because the Paranormal Bass Direct Box also features active EQ and a Slap Contour switch. Use it on stage to split a signal between your amplifier and the mixing board. Or, use it in the studio as a direct recording device.

The Paranormal features three bands of active EQ specifically optimized for bass. This allows you to dial in your tone in any room, sculpting your lows, mids, and highs quickly and easily with up to 12dB of boost or cut for each band of EQ. It’s the perfect solution for bassists who want the flexibility of an active system but don’t want to modify their instrument. The SFX-06 also features our proprietary Slap Contour switch, which applies an additional preset EQ curve to whatever settings you’ve chosen with the 3-band EQ. This produces a tone that’s perfect for slap playing but also works great as an alternate sound for fingerstyle or pick playing.

The Paranormal runs in a single 9-volt battery or a regulated DC power supply. And like all Seymour Duncan pedals, it’s built like tank.
