Does a stereo, multi-band, single-channel EQ exist?

This might not suit your desires, but the Behringer DEQ2496 does that,
for not much money and surprsingly clean sound.

I do understand that you might not be looking for that piece, and might
prefer a ganged analog EQ.

Rane used to have this... I think it was the "Mojo".

Orban made a paragraphic like this called the 674. But the problem with
doing this is that it's hard to get sliders that track well enough for
stereo use. You wind up having to use stepped switches and then it costs
a fortune.

I've occasionally wanted something like this too, pretty rare bird in
my experience.

I do have a stereo EQ in a Focusrite Mixmaster. This is a
multi-processing box for post-mix, includes expander, multi-band
compression, EQ, stereo-width-enhancer, and limiter. All are stereo -
one set of controls affects both channels. All the processing can be
switched in/out independently, so sometimes I use it just for the EQ.

But, it's really intended only for final "polishing", not sculpting.
It has a variable corner low-shelf and high-shelf, with a single
parametric filter. Wide range though. It actually sounds pretty good,
and can be found used for $600 or so.

The sliders probably track closer than me turning this knob over here
for the left channel then that knob over there for the right channel.

Sheesh, put a rubber band around them like everyone else does.
