I'm really into THAT 80's shred modded Marshall kind of tone! Think of Mark Day as a reference. Creating presets for this kind of tone, I tend to use a PEQ after the amp with great results using those settings:
3 db shelving boost around 1.5k
1.5 db boost with mid Q around 1.2k
2 db cut around 325Htz, mid Q.
I use the cab filter also to lowpass around 6k and highpass around 100htz
This reciepe almost always work with any Marshall amp model. My favorites are the Brit Pre and Friedmans. It's weird because reading about post eq tricks on guitar, guys are often cutting the 1k-2k area while it seems to me to cut better in a mix when boosting those frequencies!
So what are your thoughts or tricks for your 80's glory tone?
