I vote for a midrange cut, too. How about something like the old Pultec where you could select boost or cut? And be sure to use a big toggle like one of those old vacuum cleaner switches. Anyone have Pultec blue paint

Don't forget bakelite knobs!
Seriously though, i'd be up for going the extra mile on a mid-cut circuit... that would change this project from a fun DIY novelty item that would get limited use, to something I could use every day in a much more useful manner (something more akin to tracking and mixing. Yeah yeah, this is a mastering forum, i know...). After thinking of the Hz I mentioned earlier, i'm still pretty hell-bent on 220, 330, and 470 for the cut bands (fixed Q, something musical). Aside from that, it would be nice to see a HF boost around 10-12k, which wasn't listed by DC on the other thread/post.
The prospects of this EQ are very exciting!
Brad, you mentioned you already had a PCB source lined up... any chance it's these guys?

They look cool, priced them out for a DIY SSL comp I thought about trying a while back.
BTW, I think I gave props to Hammond chassis recently on here... i'm offically taking that back, not digging it AT ALL. Useable for the time being, but i'll need to find a better 1/2 rack unit in the future for my monitor. On the other hand, Hammonds rule for guitar pedals.
