I spotted a fixed equalizer in the middle of a guitar power amp schematic (Randall G3 series), so I banged it up in LTSpice for a simulation:

I came up with a nice schematic layout whereby we have the gyrators in a column on the right and then the mixer resistors which plug them into the fixed equalizer to the right, making it easier to follow.

Similarly, this capacitance multiplier is more likely to be seen on a chip than outside one. Capacitance inside an IC takes up a lot of chip area, while transistors are small.
