What are your FRFR speakers?
Many systems have hyped highs, so you set the highcut low to compensate for that. Using that same preset then for studio momitors or a PA, it sounds like through a blanket.
If a certain monitor is the problem I'd change the upper bands in the global eq to get it right.
But when highs are too much everywere, then the problem lies in the preset and cut freq is the right fix.
Besides that mids that seem a bit too much boosted at home, make the guitar sit oerfect in the mix. Needed while to get that. It costs you quite an effort to turn mids more up than it seems right, but that's how amps cut through on stage.
I agree, especially if your "FRFRs" are hyping highs (they aren't supposed to!). You may dial out some "air" if you go low on the Hi Cut, but truthfully most guitar speakers we use and associate with 'tone" put at nothing of value above 6kHz.
In a band mix situation the FOH guy may easily hi cut you even at 4kHz depending on tone, to slot you into the overall mix. That said, I've found some the Class-A Vox style amps like the Hi Cut at 10khz or higher....Overtones or something. Whereas with a Tweed amp you can hi cut at 5kHz and never notice a difference.
