This eq (new take on an old classic) is not intended to be used for drastic corrections, sharp notches and surgical work. It is very musical (think about wide mid curves) and you can significantly boost without sounding harsh. In my case I can not achieve the same smooth boosts with a digital eq, especially when pushed.
Every move feels smooth and clean with a touch of coloration. There are definitely more musical choices, but you cannot go wrong considering its price. I would recommend it for general instrument/voice tone shaping.
