I’ve just tested it with some ridiculous EQ settings and it does sound like the ‘EQPre’ button moves the EQ to before the compressor. This is also bourne out with more gain reduction being indicated and heard as well, as essentially I’m increasing the input level into the compressor. So, it looks like you’re correct and this maybe a typo in the manual.
The legend ‘EQPre’ reads like the EQ is before the compressor seeing as it’s a button in the dynamics section, otherwise it should read ‘PreEQ’
Now my head hurts from thinking about it
