" Filter Block " ..... question re: Lo / Hi Cut ..... ?

[ben ifin]

Hi all

When using the " Filter Block ", you can set the lo / hi cut to taste.

When you do this in the " Speaker Block " you can also chose the slope so that you get normal / musical roll-off below and above the lo / hi chosen frequencies.

So ..... my question re: the lo / hi cut in the " Filter Block " is ....

-> when I select the lo / hi cut freq range, are the frequencies outside the lo / hi cut range " brick-wall-hard-cut-off " -or- is a default slope roll-off applied ?

-> if there is a default roll-off auto-applied, is there a way to set this manually in the Filter block ?

Thanks,
Ben

Is there any benefit in your mind to doing it in the filter block vs the cab block?

Well, yes, you can have a filter block in front of your amp, and use cuts differently.

you can make cuts in the amp blk too

LOWCUT and HICUT in the Filter block are 1st order filters. Roll off is -6 dB/8va beyond the set cutoff frequency. There are also lowpass and highpass modes for the Filter block that have an adjustable slope via the ORDER parameter. 2nd order = 12 dB/8va and 4th order = 24 dB/8va.

If doing things inside the Axe-Fx, then I like the filter block for high-pass because I can use 2nd order (I'd actually prefer 3rd order). With low-pass, I typically use either 1st or 2nd order. So, low-passing in the Cab block or with a filter block is sufficient.

The Cab block filters have adjustable slope too.

I guess I should've written my response more clearly. I was writing to let the OP know how to do things in the Axe-Fx, with a few of my personal preferences that I use in my DAW.

I don't use the cab block. I use an IR loader plugin in my DAW.

I don't use filter blocks, either. I do all of my EQing inside of my DAW.
