I'm looking to get a good stereo parametric eq. I'll mainly be using it for mixdown and notching and recording leads. I know I like Ashly stuff but after hawking ebay for a while it seems like Furmans run cheaper. is it crazy to drop 250 on an Ashly parametric? are Furman's parametrics comparable? is there something even cheaper that I should think about getting instead? extreme precision doesn't interest me, I want something with character (maybe it's placebo but everything sounds real good out of my SC52E, the only Ashly I've had).
