I'm still puzzled by the choices I face when controlling bass in this unit, even after 18B. Can someone with enough knowledge (from Fractal, ideally) weigh in and explain the differences between these?
For example, when I built my ODS amp, I ended up learning a lot about how controlling the amount of bass entering the preamp section changed the character of the overdrive in some really positive ways, while still letting you end up hearing enough bass coming out of your speakers. Condensed version is that too much bass in the preamp and you're clipping the bass frequencies too much before you start affecting lower-amplitude frequencies. So if you control it right, you end up with clipping on the mids and highs, and relatively clean bass as a foundation. Which one of the above items should I be focusing on as a way of controlling the bass that is getting into the preamp section? Or should I just spend some more CPU cycles and put a filter block in front of the whole amp?
In contrast, an amp like a Deluxe leans heavily on that extended bass for part of the mojo...so if you want to control the bass, I'm theorizing that it is probably better to control it via that cab block parameter, rather than in the amp block.
Thanks in advance!
- "Cut" on the pre tab
- "XFRMR LF" on the speaker tab
- "LOW CUT FREQ" on the dyneq tab
- "LOWCUT FREQ" in the cab block
