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.
Then you haven't seen any of the >100 mixers I've seen and
worked on. In fact, as far as I can remember, I've *never*
seen any mixer that had its EQ post-fader. Nor one with
post-fader inserts, and there are good reasons for that.
Ciao,
Low-cut and EQs should be pre-fader and just the EQs + the fader should
be switchable between pre-aux and no EQs + fader for aux, while low-cut
always should be pre-aux too.
Anything else is very unusual.
