so i wanted to ask if the tube compressor is different or similar to an active eq. from
what i read so far the q factor on the compressor exists from one band to the next &
not across the full eq spectrum.

i read the q factor is preset, for the entire eq spectrum, does the q factor have its own eq.
would the tube compressor benefit, using a parametric equalizer?

what are the major differences from a compressor and a active eq thanks.
