Something I realized today...
I mostly use my FM9 in a home jam setup, playing along with my favorite tracks.
Today, I was dialing in some Soldano and Dirty Shirley amp tones, creating a preset specifically for playing heavier music like Opeth. While jamming along, I noticed myself boosting the highs quite a bit to fit into the mix with the original recordings. But when I stopped playing and revisited the preset, I thought, "Wow, this is way too bright!" and ended up reworking the EQ from scratch. I play with stereo studio monitors (Yamaha HSM80).
I know this likely falls into the realm of Mr. Fletcher-Munson, but today really highlighted how bad my presets can sound in this context.
