I think that you would be best served by a three band parametric. A true parametric with Q controls for each band and a master output level control.
There, are you happy?
Find the sweet spot with the parametric and you probably will only ever have to mess with the master volume. At most, tweak the levels of the different bands. You probably won't mess with the Q too much.
Eq is ridiculously helpful. 31 band is where it's at because it's the most precise. However, if you want a pedal then get a 10 or 7. Arguing against eq is the dumbest thing ever.
