Terry - Is the faceplate of the Lucas BPEQ something that you're doing as a one-off for yourself - or are you planning on manufacturing / marketing more these as part of the Lucas product line? If the latter - any idea what your asking price will be?
I agree with Jaako that it is indeed much nicer to have more freq selection points - and that more overlapping of freq choices is very welcomed as well. Obviously this would be more expensive to implement though. 23 per band would probably be overdoing it for me though! - I think I'd be happy with 12.
Best regards, Steve Berson

I'm going for 23 or 24 per band, just because I happen to have a bunch of Elmas for that. Also, no boost/cut switching as previously said, it's going to be simple this time. I haven't yet decided if I want to go the Maselec-ish way of having 0,5dB steps 'till 4,5dB and then 5dB, 6dB, 8dB.
It might well be I'm going for +/-5,5dB max myself.
Hell, my new passive EQ has +/-3dB.

I'd be inclined to go that way as well. I actually think the Maselec frequency choices are perfect- better than a Sontec. They overlap very nicely for cutting in the low/mids.

I don't recall having posted the mod I made when I had mine built, but it's pretty simple. Instead of a standard toggle switch for a master bypass, I have channel (L/R) bypasses as well as a master, and all are SWEET green LEDs...

This is a custom box and in it's current form will not be released as a manufactured product. As stated previously, if anyone is interested in buying the BPEQ, contact my tech Frank (PM me for details). No tire-kickers, please.
Also, if you have any specific questions about the EQ, please post them here rather than via PM - that way everyone can see and it saves me time answering the same questions over and over...

I also put a bypass on each band but skipped the master bypass since I have one in the router. I'm quite happy with 12 frequency centers per band. GR

I'm getting a TFPro P9 for testing in a couple of days. Reading this thread, I'm starting to think I'll be dancing to yesteryear's groove. To anyone who was used both designs, how are they related, sound-wise? How do they differ?

They have nothing in common as far as the topology is concerned. DC

Thanks. Is there any commercially available unit using the BP topology or is currently the only way to hear it to comission a DIY build?

I'd offer that you could just come over, but seeing as to how I currently live in midwestern America...
