Some use them for a mid-boost for solos. Some use them to scoop the mids for heavy chuggin'. I use mine to tame on-stage feedback frequencies and beef up the tone of the piezos in my acoustic.

advantages of an external pedalboard EQ?
what are the advantages of an external EQ on your pedalboard and what are the drawbacks?
i know you can probably dial in your tone better, but can you use them to get some extra mids, low ends and highs?

I've used an MXR 10-Band at the front end for years. Besides the uses that t_ross33 points out, you can get humbuckers to simulate single coils and vice versa.
IMHO, there are no disadvantages; it's a must, a swiss-army knife of tone.
