What is the range you'd start with for bumping up proximity?Tip:
To get more punch ("oomphf") from an FRFR monitor, turn up Proximity in the Cab block and bump the middle slider of a Passive 5-Band GEQ.
What is the range you'd start with for bumping up proximity?
To me the proximity patameter is the easiest trick to get an IR more 4x12-ish, if that makes any sense.
It adds the typical behavior of a 4x12, and that means a wanted sound for the player and problems for the tech when trying to fit that guitar in the mix. So add it carefully. It could get too much even though you love it.
it's mic distance from the cab. turning it up moves the "mic" further away, picking up more low end thump.Turn up proximity* , so this is emulating being closer to the cab( frfr) and the slider is bumping up the mids? Which always cuts more with guitars?
Thanks for the information, helpful! Now mr advocate here.. moving the mic further away in reality would mean it's not going to be as loud? Perhaps it would determine which mic being used. It's cool to have the option regardless. thanksit's mic distance from the cab. turning it up moves the "mic" further away, picking up more low end thump.
I think it’s the other way around.it's mic distance from the cab. turning it up moves the "mic" further away, picking up more low end thump.

Yep. The soundguy can filter it out though.
The neighbors already think there is enough thump
Dear Yek, I never said that the neighbors are right. More is more!It's for rehearsals and gigs, especially when using an FRFR monitor as a traditional cab for backline purposes.
Unless you're playing a stadium no sound guy will like a guitar sub on stage. Just sayin.Good tip.
I've been saying for years:
Add a sub to your FRFR.
It moves air. You feel it. It's fun. And your soundguy doesn't want those frequencies anyways.
No subs on stage dammit!!Unless you're playing a stadium no sound guy will like a guitar sub on stage. Just sayin.
I've seen Lincoln Brewster live a couple times, and he is one who likes a ton of guitar bass on stage so he feels it, and I can tell you from the audience perspective, if you are in the first 1/3 of the audience your mix is muddy.
