I agree with thrillfactor.
What's so complicated? Connect a cable from the compressor's sidechain output to an equalizer's input. Connect another cable from the equalizers' output back to the compressor sidechain input.
If you want certain frequencies to not trigger compression, such as from bass or kick, just reduce those frequencies on the EQ. Now the compression element sees less of them, and doesn't do anything to the audio.
If you do want certain frequencies to trigger compression, for de-essing, etc. -- then boost those frequencies on the EQ. Now the element will see these first and react to them, reducing the gain when they appear. All the audio gets reduced, same as in a normal compressor without sidechain EQ. But if you set fast attack and release these reductions can go by without significant notice.
No audio goes through a sidechain circuit.
