So, I am once again in the market for some colourful EQ plug-ins. Some saturation would be nice when driven, no particular flavours in mind... I'm open to various options.
What are some options out there right now that aren't Nebula based, or Waves?
Saturated, "Analogy" EQs?

Yeah, I'm trying it out now, but I don't like the concentric knobs on it. With a mouse it's difficult for me to grab the frequency knob easily.
Not a major issue, but I am looking for some more stuff to try out as well.

I know they get overshadowed due to the supreme marketing of slate and waves, but...psp eq squad is excellent. They're not full of bullsh*t fluff but they have tons of character and are surprisingly flexible. And of course, sound great.

Preamp
When “Drive” is set to a value of zero, SonEQ Pro's pre-amp section is designed to impartsubtle warmth without overt coloration of your mix. Round lows, warm mids, soft and natural highs, and enhanced perception of transients result from SonEQ Pro's two stage saturation.
The "Drive" control governs both the overall preamp saturation, and also the saturation amount at the bottom end of the frequency spectrum. At a value of zero, saturation remains normal. Increasing the drive level will cause the drive knob to act as a low exciter, further saturating and enhancing low frequencies.

I really fell in love with this one:
http://www.voxengo.com/product/overtonegeq/
Its free, but has a lot more options than many comparable payware EQs, for instance the band-frequencies can be changed to whatever you want/need.
Worth a try in any case. It does not disappoint.

Not forgetting SKnote, most of their circuit emulations include a preamp stage that does saturation

Another vote for Slick EQ/GE for this particular case. I love Axis too, but if I had to choose one it would be SlickEQ for the versatility. It not only has several EQ types, but also different output stages for saturation. Auto-gain is a godsend too...

The slate Digital EQs are great.
