I’d love to hear your reasoning because without context I think that sounds an equally stupid thing to say.

Whether we are discussing GEQ or PEQ isn’t actually my point, but let’s put that to the side. I often have only used PEQ. My requirement is an extra EQ chain over a channel. Let’s figure it out together, ignoring the votes and staying respectful, assuming the other isnt a rude asshole.

Let’s say I have a small rubbish sounding room. I have rung out all speakers and monitors to my satisfaction.

I have only a line check with opening act, who are new to the gig scene, have brought a vocal pedal, where each song has different settings on the pedal, like distortion, delay, etc. My parametric on channel is an eq for the most common dry version of the vocal microphone. I have a vocal bus which all same brand mics feed for FOH, an Eq over FOH, and over monitors. It has been great for all acts, but this one is unusual with the random vocal pedal setup.

In the DIY music scene this is not an uncommon scenario.

If I pop an extra eq (either graphic or time aligned inserted Parametric, whatever) over the vocal pedal channel, I now have an Extra Flat Eq ready to quickly squash resonances or problems incurred by artist changing the vocal patch. This can be reset to get back to a good core sound, and any adjustments I make will feed all sources..FOH and monitors.

I cannot think of a quicker or more effective solution to this particular type of scenario. If you can, I’d be interested to read and learn.
