I love my KQ30

Very clean and simple design. Does it's job very well. For more flexibility you can purchase 2 and run both for front and rear channels or more commonly left and right. Has indicators for input and output clipping to help fine tune your system.

30 Band EQ

This is one of the best values for the money. Needed a 30 band for my ID Horns, and this really fit the bill. Perfect for a stereo EQ. Only downside is as a line driver the output has to be turned wide open to achieve maximum potential, which runs into distortion. So boasting 7 volts is kinda high. Other than that, no complaints. HIGHLY recommended!
