    Yeah for sure!

    -You got traditional for more subtle control but you give up full kill.
    -Full kill (my favorite)
    - Filter for the highs, filter for the lows and the mid knob controls resonance

    Those are your EQ flavours if you will and then you have variants of those types that sound a bit different.
    Most EQ overkill I ever witnessed.

    God I love that mixer, definitely a great purchase.

    EDIT:

    But OP if you 're still not sure:

    If my mixer were to ever break down I'd also look at either the Xone 42 or the Denon 1600 so you're on the right track. And I can imagine that choosing between those 2 mixers is a though choice.

    Interesting, I thought the DB4 was the first to do that; very cool. I always wondered about those Korgs, I remember playing with one years ago at some trade show right when they came out and thinking how cool they were. But I had no idea they were set up to mix with filters like that, how do the filters sound? Do you find yourself using that mode? For me thats been the most exciting thing about using the DB4; the effects are great but like any effects, you don't want to use them on most of your mixes. But I eq in filter mode only and really love it.

    Had I known then what I know now I probably would have bought that mixer and not bothered with the DB4.... Still, the DB4 goes to 11......

    Oh and to the OP, I'd lean towards the Denon for what you're looking for. Having the mixer TSP compatible is really nice for keeping things simple, and the sound quality on the Denons is fantastic. I had the 1700 for a while and loved it; the only sound issue I would complain about is the sound quality coming off the headphone amp, it's noticeably bad, but it's plenty good enough to mix with. So as long as you're not buying the mixer to use as a headphone amp you're good....
