Setting the gain knob to the 4th EQ knob would be odd because the gain knob is typically above EQs. So, to use a 4 band EQ by repurposing a gain knob, it would make more sense to remap the gain + EQ knobs so they go in order down the controller. I don't think an option should be added to the EQ preferences for this.
On the other hand, filter knobs are typically below EQs, so I think adding an option in the EQ preferences to use the QuickEffect knob as the 4th EQ knob could work well. This option should only appear when a 4-band EQ is loaded.
