Well A1.03 just sounds a bit leaner. You have tried cutting a notch at specific frequencies. Have you tried a bit of shelfing low cut from about 300 on down, as opposed to bandpass filter? That should give different results and you may not need a lot of cut compared to bandpass EQ.But this is ax8 bro no ares love for us yet

Didn't say it in a bad way, just referring to the new firmware we haven't received. Wasn't my intention to sound meanWish people would quit saying this. Release notes, AX8 Firmware Version 10.00
You just sound misinformed.Didn't say it in a bad way, just referring to the new firmware we haven't received. Wasn't my intention to sound mean
Thanks to all!
Today I learned something new... I've been almost a year with my ax8 and all this time my ordersp had this boomy sound that I couldn't remove eq-ing the amp, and I read somewhere that boomy sound can be cut around 250hz, I used to do that but that didn't do anything to my sound so today I used a very high Q with -12db with parametric EQ before everything on my chain and started sweeping slowly, then at 164hz, the boomy sound disappeared... Wow, just wow... Sometimes you just need to give yourself time to experiment with your toys...
Thanks guys, I'll do more research now
Could you explain a bit more how does 12db per db works? If I cut 12db at 100hz, the next step is cutting 24db at 50hz? Sorry I'm not expertOne of the keys to why a Shure SM57 works so well with guitars is that it starts rolling off the low end starting at 200hz at about -12db per octave. Dumping the excess low end (its not gone, just trimmed up: like a belt pulling in a big gut) This frees up the mids to punch through. A -12db per octave low cut/high pass filter (in the PEQ) set at 200hz (try in the 150hz - 300hz range): can work wonders. Or more conveniently: use the GEQ in the amp block to approximate that:-1.5db at 250hz, -6db at 125, -12db at 80db: depending on the EQ type selected.
It's 12 dB per octave, not per dB. that means 12 more dB of reduction for each octave.Could you explain a bit more how does 12db per db works? If I cut 12db at 100hz, the next step is cutting 24db at 50hz? Sorry I'm not expert
The EQ section of the Amp block has different types (5-band, 7-band, etc.). What frequency bands you have to work with will depend on what EQ type you've selected.About the EQ on the amp block, would explain me the "EQ type selected"? Thanks
Inspect sinmix’s preset and yours. See what he did differently.I keep experimenting, I tried cutting from the amp EQ at 250, 125 and 60hz and sound improved greatly. However I a/b tested my patch with some free trials from sinmix, it is studio ready and there's a huge difference between his and mine... Although it sounds a bit harsh/aggressive (like a chainsaw) to my taste, is sounds so clear, punchy, alive... Don't know how to explain it. I thought I made finally a great preset (I like how it sounds without the excessive low end) but when I a/b'ed with the sinmix, sinmix sounds brutal and when I change to mine it sounds like it has a blanket on it, dull and lifeless
I don't know what else to do
