Well, suppose you could "boost" a particular frequency region, but the plug in didn't really boost it -- it just created more 2nd or 3rd harmonics (but only for stuff in the "boosted" frequency region). Would that be useful. Does somebody already make such a plug in?

David,
Au contrair! I found your description of the state of the EQ in the digital age very interesting, and well worded, too! In hardware, as in software so much of what informs the user's decision to choose one piece over another is simple convenience and /or familiarity...
As for your idea, it is hard to imagine the sound of a process that would only generate harmonics from signals within a specific frequency range without adding gain in that range.
