Anyone miss Graphic EQs on amps?

I guess you can still get them on an Ampeg SVT 3/4 PRO, but that's all I know for current production. Maybe I'm just being nostalgic for the old Trace amps, but I miss the ease of grabbing a slider to boost or cut. Was really surprised when Peavy brought out the TE-1200 with no GEQ.

No sliders for me. Too many choices! Seriously, I find 4 well chosen bands plus some sort of voicing filter is plenty.

Eh, not me. Most graphic EQs seemed unnecessary to me and would introduce odd phase/gain discrepancies in the signal.

No different than the phase changes from any other filter, voicing or eq on any amp.

My first serious amps were a pair of Acoustic 370's . That's what I learned on. So.. I gotta say.. yeah, I kinda miss them, but the new stuff is pretty amazing nowadays.

Look at this monster, with buttons, sliders and knobs all over the place.

My brain will explode if I try and use this thing!View attachment 5195859

Looks like the spirit of my old Hartke 3500 lives on.
Back in the day, the little LED on each slider lured me in, big time. I'm not falling for that one again...
