What eq do you use for vocals?

. . . the one in cubase thats on every track.

I'm more interested in singing in tune, though (which is usually a struggle)

click the link my my sig and listen to some stuff on the music page and tell me what you think of my vox, if you have a spare minute
 
Unless it is for a very weird effect, I dont EQ the vocal on the way in.

I will, however use a pultec EQP1R or manley massive passive, or any good passive, inductive coil based EQ.

If I really need the vocal to get "shaped" I will have an EQ before the compressor chain, and then trim at the console. Amazing how boosting the heck out of 12k on a Pultec, then compressing with a couple of compressors AND a de-esser, then trimming the EQ a little at the channel can really make for a great "sit."

Or not. Sometimes you dont need anything.
