I'll throw in my $0.02 here as well...

You can get a 24 channel digital parmetric eq from here:

here's the "tiny" link in case the above one gets mangled:

From their description:

------------------- CLIP -----------------
Manual mode allows for setting up to 2 x 12 fully parametric filters
including frequency, bandwidth, and gain
------------------- /CLIP ----------------

and this is a 1u rack mount unit that sells for $119.00. I have one in my
rack (used to kill feedback, which is it's primary design purpose) but
have manually set it as a parametric eq on occasion and it works fine for
that as well.

Also, for a more involved (and admitedly rather technical) discussion of
Parametric and "regualr" equalization, try this:

here's a more "general" tutorial on how to use EQ with systems:

Hope this helps.. :)
