Sine Effect nanoPara
Sine Effect · pedal
The nanoPara's name points to a compact parametric filter or EQ circuit, combining nano to signal a small, space-saving enclosure with para referencing parametric control, meaning a sweepable center frequency rather than the fixed bands found on a standard graphic EQ. Sine Effect is a small builder, and a pedal built around parametric filtering rather than a fixed EQ curve gives players more surgical control over exactly which frequency gets boosted or cut, useful for correcting a specific problem frequency or dialing in a precise tonal emphasis. Specific frequency range and gain amount for this exact model aren't confirmed from available sources.
