Right, I'm also wondering if two HPF/LPF positions would be more useful. Something like 50 and 100 or 450 and 80, with maybe 10k and 6k on the LPF.
It's tough, if I was to make this my ultimate EQ then I'd have to stick 3 positions in on the HPF/LPF... I love the Neve/Calrec 12 or 18dB octave stuff for guitars and keys etc - use that a bunch at mix time.

Its the one thing I like the URS N and UA Cambridge for...

Fair enough, if you want to pull some 400 as well then that wouldn't be possible, say on a kick. WIth a HPF @ 40/50, bump 82 on the LF and pull whatever you want on the LMF... you could be rocking right?

So which LF freq would you sacrifice to get a 400Hz in there?

Thanks - I'm trying to make it my ultimate shaping EQ.
For the low down, its all discrete, inductor driven except for the LMF sweep, which uses ICs for the resonant section. Transformer in and out. I'm thinking cinemag with nickel cored output. Discrete amps can be most 990 footprint jobs... 2520, 99V, 990C, Avedis etc.
How useful is an output level control for you guys on outboard EQs? It's something lacking on many products but I would find it very useful. Less so when used in conjunction with a console.
