I like and use the sonitus plugins too...

But i'm wondering why you didnt simply use th quad?

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.
 

 
You can get it even steeper than that if you substitute lo/hi shelf instead of lo/hi pass and set Q to its max value, with all 6 resonance points coinsiding.

Sonitus plugs are DX but are not limited to 32 bit. there are 64 bit versions installed when you install Sonar 64 bit. I only mention this because Scook mentioned that there is not a 64 bit vst. that is true however the dx works fine in 64 bit.
 
I like to use the Sonitus eq as well when I need to do something surgical. For instance I have custom condenser mics that I made and mounted inside my acoustic guitars.
 
On one guitar in particular there is a resonance that is pretty extreme and makes things sound strange. I used an analyzer to figure out the fundamental frequency and a sharp q to reduce it and the next 3 overtones. It makes a huge difference and balances the sound of the guitar beautifully. 
 
I also use 2 instances of the Sonitus EQ on my monitoring buss to do room correction. I used the Room EQ Wizard analyzer from Home Theater Shack to check my room and build the corrective EQ from the results of the tests.
 
I have not tried stacking the nodes and that is a wonderful idea.

Short story is (ZOMG... short story from Beeps, lulz!11eleventy) that I'm bundling it into an FX bin with GR5. It's a DI guitar signal (for this purpose) so I'm yanking out all the uneeded low and high freqs with the Sonitus, then letting it hit an instance of Sonitus Compressor (which I just gave myself a refresher course on this morning) to smooth out the dry signal and THEN it hits the high gain amp sim.
 
That FX Chain goes at the start of the PC and frees up the PC Quad Curve (and everything else) for any extra sweetening/rejection/etc.
 
It's just a test really but one I had planned for a while (and based on previous tests where I used the QC first and the sim in the FX Bin). So far it seems to be working well and simplified a bunch of stuff.
 
BTW... ultra +1 on your tip in the other thread about creating a PC Preset to apply effects across multiple tracks using QuickGroups. This is kind of an extension of that train of though. I wanted my sims consistent, easily loaded and easily manipulated. By using the sim in an FX Chain PC Module I can load it instantly across many tracks at once. If I do this on TOO many tracks it chokes the system like a dirty chicken for a few moments but all and all it's much quicker AND I get much more control over the chain of effects (and get to add my wacky experiments like this Sonitus EQ thingamabobber).
 
aaaand that wasn't short at all. lol
 
Anyhoo... seems to be working as I intended. This is particularly encouraging because I made a rather complex plan (to me), saw it through and it produced the intended results. Much better than just smacking things around willy nilly hoping something happens to make the loud things sound gooderer which was more or less my mixing style only a short while ago.
 
Thanks (everyone).

I haven't seen the other thread, but a definite +1 for naming & saving your own pc presets
 
I always name them starting with an underscore so that when you want to load one, yours are always at the top of the list.

The Quad has only one of each of hp, lp, hi-shelf and lo-shelf, wheareas Sonitus has potentially 6 of the same type of EQ filter and therefore allows some extreme (and crazy) stacking possibilities.
