Just to be clear, I'm not against signal processing at all. EQ is everywhere and that's just life. It's the coarseness etc. that I object to in typical B&T controls, not the concept of tweaking.

I agree it's wierd to include it on 2 of 7 channels.

I'd like to either see it gone or made useful, like either finer adjustments and adjustable shoulder freq or a simple EQ setup. As it stands its useless clutter to me.

The old 'tilt' controls were simple and effective IMO if we want something simple, otherwise do it right and put a 3 band parametric on each channel or something.

If the next pre/pro had AES/EBU outs on it I could pump them straight into my Ultracurve without any extra A->D->A steps! How cool is that?
