eq settings

I don't have any memory of the settings, but if I did, I really don't think they'd be of much service to you.

No offense, but in my opinion EQ settings are potentially the most meaningless piece of information to obtain from somebody else's highly subjective situation, environment and experience.

I had EQ all over everything: on a Palmer speaker sim, on a Sans PSA 1.1, on the amp heads, on pedals. It was all based on my hands, the room, the interactions between a long chain of devices.

I've always found the "EQ" discussion interesting (probably because I suck at it and always trying to learn). In my opinion, I think a better way to phrase the question is to ask if there are certain frequency ranges you want to hear/hide in your tone? How that is achieved may require vastly different EQ settings depending on the equipment, environment, and technique. As JMJ described quite nicely, copying someone's settings will almost never result in copying the final tone.
