Seymour Duncan Paranormal

Seymour Duncan · pedal

The Seymour Duncan Paranormal (SFX06) is a bass DI and EQ pedal, not an overdrive, built around active Bass, Mid, and Treble tone controls plus a Bypass and a Slap Contour switch that curves the EQ for pop-and-slap playing. It runs on a 9V battery or regulated DC supply with true bypass. It suits bass players wanting a durable, straightforward active EQ and DI solution for shaping and driving their tone live or in the studio, particularly for slap and pop technique.
