Yes.
But perhaps one of the graphic EQs is an easier to deal with thing for a start...
What's so complicated? Drag bands up and down and listen. Refer to my previous tip of recording something into a "first thing in the chain" looper, so you can concentrate on moving sliders and listening.
Maybe start with the Cali Q Graphic model for a start as it only has 5 bands.
But really:
Absolutely no knowledge required. As said, move the sliders, listen.
One small hint about frequencies, though: For pre-amp tone shaping duties, the mid bands are most important. Using the 10 Band Graphic EQ as a frequency reference, that'd likely be the 250, 500, 1k and 2k sliders.
The lower ones can serve to keep an amp tight by cutting lows, the higher ones might make your amp "sing" a little more but you may have to add another post-EQ for compensation (so the highs don't get harsh), but seriously, I'd stick with the mids for a start. Especially in front of a somewhat overdriven am they can very noticeably alter the entire drive characteristics.
But as said: Just fool around with it.
