Did you compare the result of harmonic whatsoever tools

required, you maybe should compare a compressor with the faked tube
saturation. If an EQ can't produce the wanted clean sound, then simply
because either frequencies are missing, e.g. caused by the amp, or they
aren't available by the audio source or because the speaker can't
produce those frequencies. Adding some magic harmonics can't replace
missing frequencies. If a biased sound is ok, IOW you don't use the
setup to mix audio productions, you should consider to compare a
controllable tool, such as a compressor, with some magic,
uncontrollable tube saturation fake.
Or assuming the default sound played by the speaker is already that
distorted that an EQ doesn't help, than adding more bias by effects
unlikely will improve something. Then perhaps living with the default
sound is better.
