i think the frequency may be too high. am i right in thinking it's at 120Hz? i normally cut somewhere between 80-100hz to tighten up the bottom end on some amps. can we have a "cut frequency" parameter in the adv tab, so we can fine-tune?
Cliff stated the low cut cuts all whereas the Cut button keeps something...There already is a "low cut" in the Adv tab of the Amp block. Just use that.
The Low Cut is before the distortion so it sounds different than cutting bass in the cab block.
I think low cut is blocking, and cut button is shelving if I understood cliff correctly!
That's about using Low Cut in the Cab block.
The discussion above is about the difference between Cut (beneath Bass) and Low Cut (Adv page) in the Amp block.
there is a difference tho yes...??
the Cut in the preamp page is applied before the signal enters the preamp
and the Low Cut in the Avd page is after the preamp yes???
so if my understanding is correct... and with respect to Sims question...
I could only assume that if the Cut switch isn't working for you, you'd have to essentially create your own via filter block that is placed before the amp
120 Hz is where most amp designers put it. A typical cathode bypass has the pole at approx. 85 Hz. Assuming 6 dB gain reduction that puts the center frequency at 120 Hz.
So to replicate this using a Filter block what Q should be used? That's what I'm missing from reading the above posts.You can use a Filter block before the Amp set to Shelving if you want to add more flexibility to what the Cut switch is doing in the Amp block.
