Hi Steve,
What an interesting thread! Your proposal seems so obvious yet one has to wonder why there has been so very little past discussion about the use of equalizers in our search for 'that sound". Amp tone pots are always going to be somewhat restricted in the degree of sound variation offered to the user whereas, potentially, the addition of an equalizer should allow much better control. I confess I've always been a bit shy of using a software equalizer as I'm never quite sure what I'm doing. This, I think, should be much more fun!
I've taken the liberty of trying a little image processing and the result is as below:
The positions of your sliders are, I think, a little more clear and I interpret them as follows:
Gain ................... -6dB
31.25 Hz ............ -12dB
62.5 Hz .............. -12dB
125 Hz ............... -12dB
250 Hz ............... -12dB
500 Hz ............... 0dB
1 KHz ................ 6dB or 12dB (?)
2 KHz ................ 12dB
4 KHz ................ 0dB
8 KHz ................ -12dB
16 KHz .............. -12dB
Can you confirm these are the settings you're using on the Caline 10 Band EQ?
I appreciate that these mid range slider positions and the resultant sound achieved may be very amp dependent, but hopefully, along with the Ronnie Gustafsson video, they should at least give us a good basis from which we can start to build and experiment.
Examples of Ronnie Gustafsson's helpful Boss GE-10 settings identified from his That Sound - Part 2 - The Clinic" YouTube video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5cOLV_fci4
He concentrates on the middle 6 Bands: 125Hz to 4KHz

I hope this is helpful to others, like myself, who are tempted to have a go

Hi mike that's great work, well done putting all the settings on.
