Wolf -  
 
Props for the original Furman parametric EQs.  I had one around 1977 and it was an amazing box.  I always felt it was the ultimate flexibility - center frequency, cut/boost, bandwidth.  Ugly as sin (green and red) IMHO, but definitely stands out in the rack.  
 
Wish I still had mine.

John,    
The Furman PQ-3 rack with Alembic F2-B was what I put together before I had an Alembic SF-2 with F2-B combination .  I like them both from an egalitarian sense BUT the Alembic SF-2 goes a little further from a technical standpoint as far as actual attenuation and sound shaping . I have used them together as well in some experiments and have had interesting results that would be difficult to described with words ____     Thanks for your post !
