The LilFreq is probably the best "clean" 1U eq. It has it all.

Check out the Langevin Mini-Massive. 4 bands mono or two bands per channel stereo. Supposedly sounds fantastic, although I've never used one- I got a Massive Passive instead

Cheers,
Andrew

lil freqs are some of my favorite eq's... They have made options and sound absolutely incredible.

Check out the BUZZ Audio eq. It's fantastc too... And it's only $1000 or so.

I would also say the Lil Freq. Its the most comprehensive eq I've ever used and it sounds incredible.

Yeah, it's a shame they stopped making `em. Hard to find clean used ones now. Those are extremely capable eqs, and the Rupert "glow" and "sheen" buttons can work serious magic in the right instances. Man, I wish I had bought up more before they went out of production. I doubt they'll ever be manufactured again.... oh well.

Tough, good, cheap. Pick three.

Rane SP-15. 5-band parametric, with HP & LP. I've gotten them for as little as $45 each on FeePay.

Jim Williams does nice mod's on this model.

Don't expect prestige from owning, because they have no bling showing.

Cheers.

edit: Oh yeah. High End.
