Yet another cool EQ — 5 band parametric

if it’s through hole and under 150 or so pieces I would build this. I wish they would have gone to a higher frequency on the highest range tho. The noise gate that goes with this seems cool too.

It's hard to imagine that their board is through hole. If anyone could turn this into a through hole project, I'm sure Robert is that person ;~). If it's super dense, might mean a stacked board. And I'd want this in a 1590 size, which may help. The 125ma draw has me curious about what's in it.
7 KHz, even with a narrow band, is plenty high for guitars, but keyboards and synths, etc. could certainly use higher.

My guess is also that their board is likely SMD. The 125 draw does seem like a lot.
On some parametrics you can go beyond the desired frequency for the highest and lowest setting and then set the gain low and use it like a high/low pass on either end by adjusting the q. I don’t know if the 14k is high enough or not for that also I’m not sure how wide the q can be set on these.
I think my preference is a 3 band with a high and low pass filter. I have a rack that I use this way now but I would prefer a pedal.

Here is a gunshot from the PTpre which I understand this EQ is derived from. The shot is from this German website https://www.gitarrebass.de/equipment/mit-allem-und-scharf-ibanez-pentatone-preamp-im-test/2/
