The only RIGHT way to do tone controls,filters,even a simple "loudness" control is the old CLR filters and NOT opamp "synthesized" filters so why is this method not seen as a often ?
cost and no more !
the coils cost a small fortune usually and when you weight the cost of an opamp with a couple of resistors and caps against the price of just one quality inductor,then add up all you need for say a 10 band EQ and it is easy to understand why manufacturers shy away and then go on to "con" you into beleiving the cheap method is actually the best method (all about selling you a product folks,that and a line of bull).
Here is a lnkmthat can shave the cost a LOT but means you do the work.
