Two decent EQ bands per channel wanted

[5 Cent]

Hi there,
I'm about to go for a M. Brauer style buss compression technique. But I'm still in need of a nice EQ for the top end/air buss.

I really like the design of the Mini Massive. Since I do all that surgical stuff itb, two bands per channel would fit my needs to get some sound at the top end. On the other hand I remember Fletcher who definitely prefers the Great River EQ's top end over the Massive's.

Are there other decent 4 band mono/2 band stereo switchable EQs out there? Should I go for the Mini Massive? I bet its top end isn't really bad though... Should I go for two more expensive Great River channels, that provide more bands than I actually need... Any considerations here?

Budget is about 2-3k

Cheers

I have a couple of Millenia TD-1 boxes. They are primarily direct boxes with reamp circuitry, but they also have an H3 preamp and a two band Nyquist parametric EQ. The eq is clean and pristine. Those boxes find themselves on channel inserts via line in to use the EQ all the time.
