With this in mind, I’d like to know if anyone here actually hears significant differences between these EQs and if you think I should continue to try to learn to the differences.

The first is that I feel a little bad about this because I feel that if the slate stuff is that good and really does give me access to digital versions of so many powerful tools then I should be learning to use them properly. Apparently the FG-A is good for percussive stuff because as you increase the gain of a bell, the Q gets narrower but I just don’t hear much of a difference when I test it out against the FG-N and FG-S. I’ve heard people talk about the differences between the Slate FG-N, FG-S and FG-A EQs and about how they are each good for different things but when I test this out for myself I just don’t hear it. I definitely hear some great things in some of the Slate Digital plugins (The high end in Revival for example is nice and smooth) but there are often times when I try out a few Slate EQs for example to see which one suits what I’m trying to do best (boosting a particular frequency by 4dB on each EQ) and I honestly hear vitrually no difference or sometimes no difference at all. I know the frequency spectrum quite well and know what each frequency sounds like. For context, I think my ears are pretty good at this stage.
