Indeed. Is there something you don't like about it and you want something totally different, or do you just fancy a bit of a change and want something very similar? Without anything else to go on you'll just get lots of random suggestions like CamdenRob's! :D

Bit of a copy and paste job from my comment in another thread but:

The bass and treble are regular boost/cut, but the mid control has 3 positions: position 1 is off, position 2 is a mid-cut and position 3 is either a mid-boost (how I use it) or a different mid-cut. I *think* that this model bass pre-dates the NE1 EQ box so that's why the controls are a little different.

When you take the control plate off what you'll find are 4 little plastic wheels attached to the circuit board. They are in 2 pairs and control the mid-cut amount and mid-frequency for position 2, the other pair are for the mid-boost/cut and mid-frequency for position 3.

Someone in a guitar shop once told me that the idea behind it was that you can set 2 favourite tones (e.g. a scoop for slap and a boost for rockier stuff) and then flick easily between them. I must admit that I mainly play rock/metal stuff on mine so I tend to leave it on position 3 with the max mid-boost in an attempt to cut through against cranked Marshalls and Boogies.
