I own a DOD SR830Q graphic EQ and several dbx 1231 and 2231 graphic
EQs. They do not have the same features, control layout, or
connectors. Both companies are owned by Harman International.

I don't like any of them - coarse treble, noisy. Rane, Ashly, and
Klark-Teknik are the only analog EQ's worth using these days IMO. If DBX is
the extent of your budget look into digital EQ's, which don't help the sound
but at least don't hurt it as much. The Alesis DEQ830 offers 8 channels of
30-band EQ in 1 rack space for $500.
