No, for the frequency controls the defaults are the middle of the
range, that is: 200, 400, 1k, 2k Hz.

If you'd use the first and last section as LF and HF shelf filters
they would be at e.g. 20..40 Hz and 10..20 kHz, maybe with the BW
increased a bit.

But it makes not sense to have defaults for the frequencies any more
than for the gains, just set them to what is required. If you get
some experience as a sound engineer you will learn the 'typical' EQ
frequencies for single instruments or voices, and this will enable
you to set an EQ much faster than without that experience. But for
mastering you just have to listen and find out.
