I have the "little brother" EQ of this unit, and I really like it.
I like it because of the physical sliders. Not because I have some kind of fetish for these particular sliders -- they're a bit cheap feeling on mine, honestly, though they get the job done.
No, I like it better than digital because it's just so easy to dial in a little extra (or less) bass or treble depending on current needs. Are there other people in the house trying to sleep? Are my sinuses extra clogged that day? etc.
I wish there was a simple, MiniDSP-style digital EQ that gives physical access to some presets like that. I am imagining something like a MiniDSP with 5 "preset" buttons on top. Must be simple enough to use when drunk.
Of course, it is the internet, and I'm sure we can find somebody claiming that. I see fans of analogue amps, sources, etc. But never analogue EQ. In fact you usually see old-skool analogue types crapping on analogue EQ because it has a bad rap.
AMIR. There is a very specialized tool for doing this quickly. It is called "a ruler."

I've never seen that claim applied to analogue EQ, honestly!some people strongly believe that hardware has some "magic sound" that can't be reproduced with software... maybe it's the magic of noise, IDK...
It would be nice to do some tests of this, as much as it's possible anyway, in a controlled/scientific manner.

Careful though as setting them all back to zero is very time consuming.
