Sorry to bother guys just hoping someone may have some information that could possibly lead me in the right direction.
I’ve been trying to dial in my Axe with a Firehawk 1500 which is supposed to be a FRFR stage monitor for awhile now with what I thought were decent results but never quite getting where I wanted to be, something to do with the high end. I chalked it up as not having the chops or knowledge to dial in amps and settings properly or it was my guitar. I’ve been buying IR packs, guitars, pickups, different capacitors, resistors, tone pots and anything else I could think of that could possibly be affecting my guitar tone.
Sitting there tweaking the other night and realise it’s late and probably should chuck my headphones on....and there was the sound I’ve been chasing. All the high end sparkle (or whatever buzz word you’d like to use) I’ve been looking for was just there, even just sliding my hands across the strings and fretboard has a super musical high end.
At this point I’m guessing it’s my FRFR speaker not giving me a correct representation of my tone for some reason. I’ve messed with EQs on the axe aswell as my FRFR trying to dial back in high end/presence/sparkle but then everything just gets piercing or if I try low cuts it just gets thin and brittle. I probably should add that for as long as I’ve been doing this I feel like my mids knob doesn’t do anything unless I’m literally dialing it all out.
I’m now at the conclusion that it’s my room that is causing some type of reflections that is just muddying up everything. Where should one go from here? Do people actually treat their room just to jam? Am I being a sook and just expecting too much from my setup?
I apologize if this post seems super long but I thought I’d try and get as much information in hopefully without sounding like I’m complaining which is 100% not my intentions, just hoping someone with more knowledge may be able to chime in.
Thanks in advance to anyone that takes the time to read this.
