Parametric Eq and Bass, which frequency bands? (ledgernote.com)

Hi, I recently bought an Eq2 pedal from Source Audio.

By looking around I found this:

80 Hz - 200 Hz: Energy & Fullness
200 Hz - 500 Hz: Muddiness & Boxiness
500 Hz - 1 kHz: Punch & Intelligibility
1kHz to 5 kHz: Attack, Harmonics, Clarity

Knowing this, I'm wondering how to configure my frequency bands. First, I'm looking for something simple to get to grips with the pedal, and I was wondering if there were any best practices for setting the frequency bands. For example, for the lowest part, is it better to set 2 bands, one at 80, the other at 200? Put a band in the middle? (80 + (200-80)/2 = 140)?

Another idea I had was to use the bands defined on a graphic Eq like MXR 10 Bands (31.25, 62.5, 125, 250, 500, 1K, 2K, 4K, 8K, 16K)

Thanks!!
