Anyone aware software parametric EQ options for Linux?

I am currently using PulseEffects. While its parametric EQ is totally capable for what I need, the program has a bit too much latency for my liking. With balanced out settings to minimize latency while still keeping stutters/pops in check, I get 80-95ms of latency. On top of the latency of PulseAudio, that's quite a lot of lag.

I understand I can tweak PulseAudio configuration files and use lower latency kernels, but the former has caused too much overhead in my experience. Besides, I'd still be getting the same 80-95ms of latency on top of whatever tweaks I do, seeing as PulseEffects is separate.

So, I'm looking for alternatives in general. All I need is a parametric EQ. PulseEffects has all sorts of DSP options built in, so I'm thinking a simpler program with just parametric EQ might lead to less latency.
But, it has to be parametric. I'm aware of other system-wide fixed-band EQs. They are useless to me.
