Take a look at the other -af-* related flags, like -af-add -af-del
etc., because, as someone already pointed out, I think each -af
overrides the last, which explains why only the eq seems to be having
any effect.  If you keep the first filter as -af and then use -af-add
for the following ones it might do want you want.

Normally filters are separated by commas, and options by colons.  I
tend to use -vf more often than -af, but the formula is the same,
e.g.:

-vf dsize=640:-2,scale,expand=-8:-40:4:40,...
