I don't like graphic EQs compared to Parametric units (I have the
FBQ-2496 and love it). One wants to be able to set the center freq and
bandwidth of the correction. An standard EQ won't be helpful - without
adding negative affects - unless your very lucky and some of the
controls you have line up EXACTLY with what you are trying to fix.
