My approach is actually pretty different, maybe because i am mainly using my
AXE FX II for recording!
When i am recording guitars, especially with high gain tones i want a tone that's balanced or "even"!
You can try to achieve this with EQ settings, be it pre or post amp, or you can use a drive pedal to
boost certain frequencies and cut others, however i have discovered that the main reason my tones were way too "pronounced" in certain areas of the frequency spectrum is actually this...
If you take a closer look the marked area has a significant boost as DEFAULT.
if you want clear guitars wth no boominess then this is definitively where you do NOT want to boost anything.
Once again, i am speaking about RECORDING, though i can not imagine why such a boost would be beneficial in any other situation as you mostly want this are to be "clean"!
I do understand that this might be a somewhat realistic representation
of speaker resonance but again, for a clear tone you probably do not want any resonance in this area!
I'd suggest something like this...it's an easy dial so maybe you will like it, for me this absolutely works!
