Filter, modulate, and harmonically shape tone with powerful synth-style effects. Plug in your guitar, bass or even keyboards into the Paragraphs II and sculpt tone your way with the intriguing hands-on interface.

Paragraphs II is the latest generation of VONGON’s four-pole resonant low-pass filter effect. It now features stereo inputs and outputs, with a focus on modulation functions that respond to your playing dynamics and add stereo depth.

Key Features

  • Four-pole resonant low-pass filter with stereo inputs and outputs
  • Rich ladder-style filter for harmonic tone shaping
  • Improved signal-to-noise ratio for clean, clear tones ipolar envelope generator with rise and fall controls (5 ms to 4 seconds)
  • Dynamic auto-wah and ducking effects with follower mode
  • One-shot envelope triggers with adjustable threshold in trigger mode
  • Rhythmic pulsing modulation with cycle mode
  • LFO inverted between left and right channels for natural widening effect
  • LFO with sine wave or smoothed random-style modulation (0.1Hz to 30Hz)
  • CV input for filter cutoff modulation, supports audio rate signals
  • MIDI input for control of every parameter and access to 9 onboard presets
  • Adjustable for instrument or line-level inputs
  • Standard 9-volt, center-negative power supply compatibility
  • Housed in a single block of walnut, CNC routed, hand sanded & polished

Complex Tone Shaping Capabilities

At the core of paragraphs II is the same rich ladder-style filter found in our replay synthesizer, offering exceptional harmonic tone shaping with precise control. This low-pass filter excels at adding character to harmonically complex, fuzzed, and distorted signals. Its improved signal-to-noise ratio also ensures a clean, clear tone for more pristine sources like clean guitar, bass, or electric keyboards.

Envelope Filtering & Pulsing Modulation

The bipolar envelope generator can dynamically open or close the filter based on your playing dynamics, processing the left and right inputs separately to create a complex stereo field. With independent rise and fall controls spanning from 5 milliseconds up to 4 seconds, you can achieve everything from sharp, percussive accents to slowly evolving swells and fades. In follower mode, track or inversely track the filter frequency to your playing volume, generating dynamic auto-wah and ducking effects. The trigger mode delivers a one-shot envelope when your playing surpasses an adjustable threshold, offering a percussive pluck or smooth fade at the onset of your sound. Additionally, the cycle mode provides rhythmic, pulsing modulation.

Low Frequency Oscillator

The LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator) operates 180° out of phase between the left and right channels, creating a natural widening effect. With 0.1Hz to 100Hz of sine wave or smoothed random-style modulation, it offers everything from slow, subtle motion to rapid tremolo and ring modulation style effects.

Connectivity

The effect connects to your instrument with standard 1⁄4” jacks, adjustable to be optimized for instrument or line-level inputs. The control voltage (cv/exp) input modulates the filter cutoff frequency for integrating modular gear or expression pedals. The MIDI input enables remote control of every pedal parameter and access to 9 onboard preset slots. The pedal is powered by standard 9-volt, center-negative style power supplies.

envelope filter

An envelope filter reacts to your playing dynamics, opening and closing its sweep based on how hard you pick. Dig in and it quacks, ease off and it softens — delivering that unmistakable funk snap, auto-wah bounce, and touch-sensitive groove that feels alive under your fingers. It’s expressive, rhythmic, and full of character.

Use it to bring movement to clean riffs, add vocal-like sweeps to bass lines, or inject serious funk into your rhythm playing. From subtle shimmer to full-on 70s squelch, an envelope filter turns your picking hand into the control knob.

Expression

Expression pedals allow real-time control over specific parameters on compatible guitar pedals, such as volume, delay time, modulation depth, or filter sweep. Used with an expression input, they let players shape effects dynamically with their foot, adding movement and performance control that cannot be achieved with fixed knob settings.

Filter

A filter pedal shapes your tone by emphasising or cutting specific frequencies, letting you sculpt everything from subtle tonal shifts to bold, sweeping textures. Unlike traditional wah or envelope effects, filters can be static or controlled in different ways, giving you focused control over how bright, dark, sharp, or resonant your sound becomes.

Use a filter to tighten the low end, tame harsh highs, or create synth-like sweeps and rhythmic movement. Whether you’re refining your core tone or pushing into experimental territory, a filter pedal gives you precise control over the flavour of your sound.

MIDI

MIDI pedals use the Musical Instrument Digital Interface standard to communicate with other guitar pedals, effects units, and hardware. They allow control over presets, parameters, and switching across multiple devices from a single controller. MIDI integration makes it possible to build complex, synchronised pedal setups while keeping control simple and consistent.

New

This is brand new, fresh in, and a UK warranty is included. New Gear always comes from trusted UK music retailers.

Synth

A synth pedal transforms your guitar signal into rich, layered tones that mimic the sounds of a synthesiser. Using pitch tracking and waveform generation, it can produce everything from deep bass lines to shimmering pads and futuristic leads. Synth pedals open up a wide creative range, blending the expressiveness of guitar playing with electronic textures, making them ideal for experimental sounds, ambient music, or adding a modern edge to classic riffs.

Tremolo

A tremolo pedal modulates the volume of your guitar signal up and down in a rhythmic pattern, creating a pulsing or wavering effect that can sound vintage and hypnotic or sharp and choppy depending on the settings. It’s one of the oldest effects in guitar history, famously used on classic amps from the 1950s and ’60s.

Most tremolo pedals let you control the speed, depth, and wave shape, allowing you to go from smooth, subtle swells to intense stuttering tones. It’s a simple but expressive effect that adds movement and character to your sound.

Volume

Volume pedals control the output level of a guitar signal using a foot-operated treadle. They allow smooth volume swells, dynamic control during playing, and easy muting between songs. Volume pedals can be placed at different points in the signal chain to either control overall loudness or adjust gain and drive behaviour when positioned before distortion or overdrive pedals.

Wah

Wah refers to an expressive filter effect that sweeps through a range of frequencies, creating a vocal-like “wah” sound. Controlled in real time with a foot-operated treadle, it allows players to emphasise different parts of the frequency spectrum as they play. Wah pedals are commonly used for lead guitar, funk rhythm work, and expressive solos, responding closely to picking dynamics and foot movement.
