Picked this one up at Savers a few days ago: Kenwood GE-4030
Nice features. 5 Presets, and 5 User Memory Presets in addition to manual setting of the 7 bands and Spectrum Analyzer

dbx DriveRack Venu 360, though being an EQ is only one of many things. Even so, the EQ is for room correction duties.

Cant help but enjoy all the control you have with this one.
I bought that ADC Sound Shaper 33 in Japan in 1983 when I was in the Marine Corps. Wish I still had it. Loved to look at those flouroscan lights in the dark. Mesmerizing LoL
 
Just missed the 33 for sale......sold today in Bartertown.
Great EQ for the last 10 years.....travelling to Minnesota as we speak.
Few others over there still....I'm having a clearance.
 
Reviving a dead thread....

Here's my SAE 2800 Parametric equalizer just as I am testing it after a little surgery. Repaired a dead power supply and a complete cap upgrade top to bottom.

Also have an Audio Control C-22 that I rather like for the subsonic filter.

I am looking for a vintage EQ to integrate into my small office system. I have owned some EQs in the past (20+ years ago), but wanted to see what you all have so I could start looking again. Some will probably bring back some memories! Let's see what you got! Oh and add the model number if not obvious in the pics. Thanks.
Just added this to my system dbx 10/20

First pic. Main living room`s A/V rack: connected, but it`s EQ bypassed and used as a unbalanced to balanced converter after installing my Integra Pre/processor and now using the Integra`s internal Audssey voicing/timing program, They are (2) White Instruments model 4660 1/3rd octave Pro. HQ EQs for the living room L/R fronts.
Next above the White EQs is the IC chip upgraded by me, Peavey EQ 31 for the living room`s systems center channel also still connected but EQ bypassed as Integra took care of the center channel voicing.

Next pic. is my (2) Yamaha Q 2031 dual 1/3rd octave in my L/R side and rear surround amp/eq. rack in the living rooms HT configuration, also connected but EQ bypassed because of the Integra processor taking care of their voicing & any timing delay.

And the third pic is the active and in use in my bedroom`s stereo system another Yamaha Q 2031 dual 1/3rd octave that I very carefully adjusted with my Ivey IE 30A RTA yrs. ago, as was used above before purchasing the Integra DHC 40.2 pre/processor.

One might question why I kept the living room`s 5 EQs in that system`s signal path after installing the Integra and running it`s voicing program..
Well I`ll tell you why.. If the Integra pre/process ever fails I can remove it and install my older Lexicon DC1 with Dolby option pre/processor until I can either fix or have fixed, or replaced with a used one allowing me to just reengage the living room`s EQs..
I like to have a audio equipment backup plan.

I have been active with RTA 1/3rd octave voicing sound systems starting since late 1978, and never owned a lesser bandwidth EQ nor used any for my audio systems as less than 1/3rd band EQs tend to act more like glorified tone controls, and which wouldn`t have the tuning/voicing bandwidth resolution that I was looking for in my system`s voicing applications.

Saying that doesn`t mean that I turn my nose down at folks who own & use them, just they weren`t fit for my intended use.

Looks like I'll hafta update my contribution to this thread...
Most all my previous pics got lost along with a bunch in other threads a while back when the forums went thru some changes.

I'll see if I still have any hosted here,if not I'll hafta re-upload 'em and post 'em again.

Always Been Curious About The SAE 2800, What Is Your Impression Of This Particular EQ?
 
I have about 10 EQs, counting those built-in to pre-amps. They're all Soundcraftsmen of different versions. Here's the one from my main system, a Pro-EQ 44 on top of a Pro Control Four:

That Pro EQ 44 Is A Serious EQ, Was Ahead Of It's Time When It First Came Out, One Of The Very Good EQ's

Yeah, I've changed houses now and have everything racked. Still have the EQ44 in the system with the Pro-Control-Four and have another of the same pairing in another system. Those are the only EQs I use now. Quite superior to my other Soundcraftsmen EQs.
