Search this site for the Speck, and you'll find out why it's so liked. You can spend a lot more, and get absolutely nothing extra for your money. It is a standard recommendation for a reason.

I like the Chandler Germanium Tone Control, but it will take longer to get it where you want it than the Speck. Mojo abounds.

A further alternative is to go for the famous Pultec sound. Probably the most cost-effective way in is with the Manley Langevin Pultec EQP1-A.

You don't have four+ bands to play with like the Speck. OTOH, you might find it harder to screw up, since there's only one bass frequency and two treble. Once you learn it, it is formidable, and the sound is gorgeous, but you have to play it by ear. And there is no mid-range manipulation.

Cheers,
