At 24:36, this EQ is pulled up and Tom says "I really like this kind of EQ because if you crank stuff up, it's not a level it's not a volume... so if you crank it up it doesn't really push it too hard. I also love these kind of EQs because you don't really have so many options of going in between frequencies... it forces you to really make decisions."
