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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Warranty & Returns
All New products are covered by the manufacturers new warranty. Please check their website for the length of warranty and warranty conditions. If an item you receive is faulty get in touch with us ASAP. Second Hand products come with a 4 week warranty from us. If there is an issue let us know ASAP! This covers normal use and does not cover accidental damage, misuse, wrong power plugged into it, modding, water damage or any other damage caused by mistreatment. Just treat it nice and all will be good!
Shipping
We send A LOT of packages every week so don't worry about the shipping side of things!
We've never lost a thing and your awesome new gear will be packed up really well to avoid any damage in transit.
If your order comes in before 2pm we will ship it same day. Most of the time we pack things up all the way to 4pm so just call if you need it to leave same day after 2pm.
We ship mainly with Australia Post but may use a courier depending on location and size of the package.
Free Post ships with Australia Post standard and expected shipping times are between 4-6 business days depending on location. It will be longer to outside of metro and rural areas.
Express Post will usually be with you next business day in metro areas of QLD, NSW, SA, VIC and TAS. WA will take 2 days to metro and extra days after that to out side metro and rural areas.
Everything we ship has a tracking number with the exception of some power cables and smaller envelope packages. You will be emailed tracking once your order has been shipped!
