That is the one wildcard with EQ for some it can create anxiety and it can just be hard handling it, I know that is the one concern I have with it as well is it gonna do that when I utilize it, glad you switched it out for a different compound, sometimes you got a choice is the sides worth it and do I want to go through them, or do I switch compounds and have a better experience, I prefer minimal sides and a hassle free cycle, I would switch out as well if that happened with me, I think you made the right call brother.
