There are also situations when you want to dip around 200, 300, or 400 Hz to tighten up the sound of some instruments, de-emphasizing the “mud” frequencies. Their main advantage over conventional, constant-Q designs, is that they can make parts sound more forward or aggressive without drawing excessive attention to themselves. The have a similar amount of brightness and width to them. This is because the resonance, though effective, is relatively gentle. In comparison the Volko sounds a bit more scooped in the lower mids and not as punchy in the centre due to this. The reason why these frequencies were chosen is that the engineers behind the design felt they were the most important and useful frequencies for musical applications. However, the technology itself gives us some clues as to why they’re regarded as such.In the late 60s, API’s Saul Walker designed “proportional Q” circuitry, where resonance (Q) responds to gain.

The API 560’s curve shaping potential is unmatched, while API’s unique “Proportional Q” design intuitively widens the filter bandwidth at lower boost/cut levels and narrows it at higher settings. However, the 550B foregoes the 50 Hz – 15 kHz band-limit filter.With 3 bands and 15 frequencies, the 550A is more of a candidate for sweetening and coloring, rather than problem-solving. Although it may seem like the lack of finer control could be limiting, in practice, given that the EQ is designed more for “character” than surgery, a difference of 1 or 2 dB isn’t that significant.
