Hey guys, I was watching an interview with Joey Sturgis the other day and he answered a question a viewer had that made me question my own patch builds. The question was, "With amp sims, do you use compression and EQ before the amp?" He answered with something along the lines of no and I think thats pretty rare. I normally put those on afterwards once its recorded. So I wanted to get some other opinions from you all on the subject to see where you stand with placing comp and/or EQ (if any at all) before or after the amp block in your signal chain.
For me, I've been putting a comp and/ or Parametric EQ block (depends on the style im playing) before drive or amp to level out the signal then shave off problem frequencies so that my amp only processes what I want it to. It makes sense to me, what do you all think about this?
