I'm finding myself playing with the speaker dynamics at a pretty high level, depending on the amp. It's weirdly awesome; I'm thinking of it vaguely analogous to one of those Pultecs or something, where I dial in the Speaker Compression to balance the highs in the most refined way possible. I think the idea with the push-pull eq is something like messing with the character of a frequency band, maybe reducing a band, then replacing with almost the same band, but with the character of the Pultec changing how it feels; I could have that all wrong, but that idea is what this feels like. Like the low end that I'm carefully controlling with everything else not to overtake the rest of the tone gets added back in with the Speaker Compression, but with an altogether different character, a much more
real feeling character that somehow makes it feel just like a great tube amp pushing a great cabinet right next to you. I don't know; this sounds like bullshit haha, but that's the best way I can explain how it feels to me!
Why on earth would I want to do that? To me the point of life is to seek out things that would make me freak out with excitement! I hope never to try to downplay the best part of life like that, in order to avoid comments like that haha! You do it your way, Buddy; I'll do it mine.
Walk in my shoes for a moment: You spend your life chasing tone, way too broke for good equipment or the ability to play loudly in the places you live. You practice as hard as you can every moment you can, and all you every think about is playing. Then you, against all instincts to save whatever money you do have, splurge on something you can't try out in person, which for you is a gamble you can't recover from if you fuck up. It turns out this gamble actually gives you the very tones you've been chasing your whole life, the stuff you'd discover in guitar stores on gear you could never afford. I truly hope you can experience something that level of awesomeness one day!
