So, although we all know that Sir Andy get his incredible tones with minimal processing, it obviously is not an evil thing to do to use some EQ.  I would like to buy some kind of analog EQ or preamp with an EQ stage that would be a good option for such a task, preferably something parametric that kind of has it's own cool, smooth character about it.  Also, hopefully in the $500 range or so...but that's flexible.  Any suggestions?
This looks cool, I have a feeling it will get quite expensive though:
