Could build an FX Chain for it like this HP-LP Filter.fxc

Just to add to that I was able to map out a low and hi pass control to an FX Chain module by mapping Freqs 1, 2 and 3 to one knob and Freqs 4, 5 and 6 to a second knob on the FX Chain module. I now have an adjustable bandpass filter as a PC module which I can now follow up with whatever effect I want which for this experiment is an amp sim... well it will probably be a compressor then an amp sim.
 
So ya... I can cut out all the low and high shiz I don't want, compress/limit the good stuff to hit the sim (so the sim works more efficiently with less noise) and I still have 4 more knobs to screw with (which I can use for drive in the sim and/or another instance of Sonitus EQ) all with out even touching anything else in the PC. I can also put this at the top of the PC chain so it's like an amp being mic'd, sent through some external processing and then into a nice (virtual) board.
 
Now THAT is freaking cool.
 
This is why I'm here and always harassing you guys. lulz
 
Again... many thanks.

Hahaha!!! You posted as I was typing my last post.
 
That's pretty much what I did, brother.
 
Thanks, scook. You do not know how much you have contributed to my crazy little universe.
 
Cheers!!!
 
Edit: But I did not include the On/Off swtiches for the bands/filters which is a great idea. I was kind of thinking about that but seeing it in action I think I will. Noice!

Just to add to the options, every control on the Sonitus can be automated via dedicated envelopes.
 
I've done this before to get a crude-ish sweep filter effect.
 
Also, double clicking the sliders resets them to zero.

Sonitus was a well-respected 3rd party DXi.  Cakewalk bundled them, then bought the company if I remember.  Very flexible tools before the vintage emulation craze took off. 
 
And scook, that thinned out look is a lot like the EQ I use on 3rd and 4 guitar parts. ;-)

while adjusting the output gain in the above video it appeared that the frequency response reset

If Cakewalk would update the gui for the Sonitus suite...people would swear they sound better. Top notch plugins!

A little bit of resonance along with the HP and LP gives a bandpass with mind-bogglingly steep skirts you could never get with a parametric stage bandpass. Oh, and don't forget you can right-click on the band number to copy it to other bands. Sonitus stuff is great.

Sad but true.

I prefer the Sonitus UIs but would rather use VST2/3 versions of the plug-ins. Unfortunately 64bit VSTs were never created.
