    I have been thinking about what I want from an eq and I came to the conclusion that a three band parametric stomp with a stomp switch for each band would be really great, particularly if you could change the q of each EQ.

    You could combine the three switches in 8 different ways (if my maths is right).

    has anyone seen anything like this around? Is there a scematic for a parametric EQ so I could try putting three in one box?

    However note that even that is really only semi-parametric, having no control over bandwidth.

    I recall seeing schema's for parametric EQ's over on diystompboxes.com, but they were not easy circuits. Your best non-DIY bet for three independent on/off switches over three bands would be to get more than one para EQ pedal.

    Artec has a single band semi-para pedal. You could chain 3 of those together.

    Hmm.... those Artecs do look good. I guess I could chain some together but they all take up space and require power.

    I could start with one and see how I go...

    Thanks for the replys guys. You have given me something to go on.
