I would need to check the schematic, but usually if an EQ is designed with center tapped pots it will not work the same without them. Some issues could be different BW and interactions among bands, the center tap often ensures that a band is fully off at the 0dB position. Without the center tap sweeping the frequency of a band can alter the response of adjacent bands even when it's set flat.
