I think you should be able to insert as many instances of the EQ as you need. Using multiple EQ's in a chain is quite common and it's a shame that you're tied to using a 3rd party alternative if you need more than one...



Not strictly necessary to use third-party. There's the Sonitus EQ.

I would like to see improvements in the spectrum analyzer - brightness control, peak/average switch, and hold. 




 
Amen to that, a peak hold would be amazing.


And perhaps a Hz/Key indicator;)

The Sonitus EQ is a very good EQ!

Still alive this thread is Yoda says;)
 
I often hear that the Waves SSL EQs are used for Master Bus and in Mastering. Also Pulsetec EQ-types.
I guess you can use the Quadcurve EQ as well...
 
However, is the Quadcurve EQ built upon some analog gear like the Console Emulator, Softtube Saturation Knob or the PC4K S-Type Channel Compressor?
PS - also would like to have the ability to insert several EQs expect 3rd party VST</p>




I'm pretty sure the E and G EQs model the SSL E and G-series consoles. The Pure sounds kind of Pultec-ish. Note sure where the Hybrid comes from.
 
You can always send to a bus and use its EQ to get another six stages of EQ (four parametric and the HP/LP filters). Or use the Sonitus.
