You are correct, the JL HD amps are about the only exception to this that I know of.

I hate bass boost and eq crap that goes into so many car audio amps, it just colors the sound. Most people magnify the problem even further by maxxing these settings out without realizing it will make your amplifier clip almost immediatly.

Even on the head unit, I always disable the "loud" setting and zero out the bass and treble settings.
