Ok... so, I've finally got myself an FRFR setup with my Axe. Its finally complete after picking up an 800w Crown power amp running into an SRX JBL monitor.
What this thread is about, is to suggest putting a switchable midboost PEQ into all your patches.
What I learned very quickly (which I expected) is that he low-volume patches I've created, don't have the proper EQ balanced when cranked up. I since tweaked the patches I will use live to sound better at 100db+, but there was still something missing
So I put in a few PEQs to switch on and off, and quickly found out that a generous midboost INSTANTLY gave me the hard "dig-in" feel I get with my 100watt marshall at full volume. At low volumes, it makes the tone stuffy, but at that full band volume, it really sounds killer (due to the Fletcher–Munson Curve).
Give it a shot yourself (again, make it switchable so you can turn it off if you don't like it, and play at 100dB+)
PEQ:
frequency: 770hz
Q: 0.35
dB: +4db
Peaking (if you are using the first or second band)
I might even increase it to 5 or 6db, but for now I kept it relatively conservative.
If anything, its a great solo boost since it will allow you to cut through better.
