Well, if you want a parametric with sliders, Orban made a Paragraphic. Model 672 I think...
There is also a LOMO one, but it does not have Q.

JohnRoberts said:One of my more successful patents while working at Peavey [US05737428 Roberts] (and subsequently copied by Behringer with their own patent), was FLS "feedback locating system" the illuminated LEDs above one GEQ slider with the loudest bandpass.
This was a quick and easy aid for reducing feedback, or finding proper frequency band to EQ.

Whoops said:R2D2 if you want to build a graphic EQ for the fun, go for it, but really think that John is right, it's an obsolete unit.
I'm a professional Mixing Engineer, both Live and Studio.
In Live contexts I don't use a Graphic EQ for more than 10 years, analog consoles are no longer used in live sound and Digital consoles have 4 or more bands parametrics in every channel, and sometimes 6 bands parametrics in the outputs. You have also Graphic EQ inside the console if you want to use them.
So basically theres a lot of options for Graphic EQ's in the used market nowadays and you can have them for really cheap.
Sometimes even for free from a local Church, Bar, or PA company
I also agree with PRR that having separate faders from L and R is better
just my 2 cents
This is a comment I often hear; however, as much as the use of a GEQ did not necessarily imply complementing it with an RTA, it seems to me a parametric as system EQ should be used only in conjunction with a high-rez analyser.Whoops said:In Live contexts I don't use a Graphic EQ for more than 10 years, analog consoles are no longer used in live sound and Digital consoles have 4 or more bands parametrics in every channel, and sometimes 6 bands parametrics in the outputs.

Rob Flinn said:Some of the DN27's I've had are transformer coupled. All of them have holes on the back panel to mount Sowter transformers. Although I think this was an optional extra. Some also have a relay circuit so that if the power supply blows they revrt to bypass to keep the show going. Not quite sure how pleasant this would be if the GEQ was set to notch out some serious feedback.....
