I really hope I didn’t mix up the parametric eq and the shelfing filters and basically fell victim to conformation bias. I was switching between parametric and shelf quite a lot of course, so could be possible.
It even looked like the curve of a shelfing filter on the spectrum analyser, though!
Damn.
Apologies…
No problem at all! My first post is full of confusion way beyond the Q business and I’m a lot clearer on it all now - so thanks all!
One thing that has caught me out has been using FX+CLEAR to reset the values on the page - it also resets the settings page and switches the TYP setting back to parametric
You’re a very bad guy. People won’t use eq anymore because of you. 
Then I’ll make the eq my trademark secret weapon, playing (dual) Octa-only sets under the OctaQ moniker with heavy use of eq. Massive use of lfo modulation on Q, staggering amount of p-locks on Q, manually triggering of trigless trigs with plays free, lot’s of wiggling on encoders c and f.
Q =
