Default Any good preset packs for ReaEQ and ReaComp?

Hi, I was wondering if there are any good packs of presets for ReaEQ and ReaComp. I feel like it is often helpful to have a starting point or just a reference of what will and won't work, when approaching a track. Do you guys have any links to such a resource?

????
An EQ is meant to correct (make equal) what goes wrong in another stage in the audio stream.

Nobody can predict what goes wrong in yours.
Hence presets don't make much sense.

Michael is right

Please guys, don't turn this into a discussion I know how to use an EQ and why relying on presets could be a problem

The plugins come with outstanding presets, that actually work great for general correction. The only presets I'd suggest you could even ask for in the first place just would be broad stroke ones, like a mastering style gentle curve. Anything else would be useless to you because they'd be fixing a problem you may not have in your mix. It's too specialized.

Thanks, I appreciate the insight I think some of my older ReaEq instances doesn't have presets for some reason, LBX script also recognizes these as separate plugins, so something weird is going on. I found out that newer instances does have the presets after writing this question, but I thought a greater selection of presets couldn't hurt anyway.

I'll definitely look into the default presets already there for these two plugins
