Not really, EQ normally being pre-fader.
Post-fader meters in a mixer
strip are useful only of the signal being metered is actually one
that is physically available on some connector, e.g. as a direct out.
It would not indicate any overload that occurs pre-fader.
The only time I've seen EQ pre-frader is low-cut on a microphone
preamp. I was using standard "mixing board" definitions of PFL and AFL
per,

I would really like to see a mixer that has the EQ post the fader. Sounds
pretty dumb to me. That way the effect of the EQ would be influenced by the
volume after the fader. Not good... And as most consoles have the insert (by
default) pre fader, this would also put the inserts pre EQ...
EQ after the initial gain is something totally different though;)
Have fun,
