But that doesn't say a PEQ blockI think it was in agreement with the mention by View attachment 111692
The Output EQ can be used as either GEQ or PEQ.

Does it matter? The PEQ is in the signal chain is the point. Whether it's a block or the output block it's still a PEQ, isn't that the point?But that doesn't say a PEQ block

No. The point of my question was why ADD a PEQ to every preset to do the job that the global Output EQ was created for.Does it matter? The PEQ is in the signal chain is the point. Whether it's a block or the output block it's still a PEQ, isn't that the point?
To be clear, I generally use a PEQ block and NOT the global EQ. Different presets can easily require different EQ curves.No. The point of my question was why ADD a PEQ to every preset to do the job that the global Output EQ was created for.
That's a great reason!To be clear, I generally use a PEQ block and NOT the global EQ. Different presets can easily require different EQ curves.
In my experience, there are 2 main things to EQ: the tone itself, and a “global” EQ adjusting to the room - an EQ after everything.
In general for me, once my presets sound the way I want, the adjustment eq per room or venue makes my tones sound how I want without adjusting the presets.
I think adjustment to the room is something most people who have sound issues is missing. We didn’t really do that with traditional amps, but we’ve all had our amazing real amps at some gig where nothing sounded right no matter what we did with the BMT knobs. Even real amps and cabs can/should be adjusted to the room, but the limited range of BMT can’t do it sometimes, and the BMT creates the tone and not always the EQ.
One EQ adjustment can make all tones sit where it should. It’s a new skill to learn, but pretty easy to figure out over time. In theory, in my experience, you shouldn’t ever have to adjust individual presets or scenes if they already sound how you want. (This is different from changing gain or tone knobs to continue to develop your tone and preference.)
This vid by Dave Rat outlines the concept (he mentions 3 EQ areas, but mainly focuses on the 2 I mentioned). It takes a bit to get into the concept but the intro is good to watch.
Dammit REDD ! These cab irs are the Best ! I've been down the IR hole for two years and never got close to these 3 here,Try my IR's. Pan Big 5 and Big four 20% right and left and then put the Marshall straight up in the middle and back it down to -10db. Works for Metal and everything else I do.
The moment I went FRFR is when I was using four KRANK cabs and a VHT poweramp live and listened to the mic'd sound thru the P.A. and then the direct sound with Ir's and then I knew I had to switch.
We had, at one point; like 4 of his songs in our setlist.LOL One of my oldest and best friends is their sound guy and department chair at Full Sail.
So glad to hear it! I was hoping they could help!Dammit REDD ! These cab irs are the Best ! I've been down the IR hole for two years and never got close to these 3 here,
I followed your instruction and haven't' looked at another IR Since... Thanks for pulling me out of the IR hole..
PS, I want to amend this by saying that at gigs I've found that I need to run the FM3 into the front end of the Quilter to get the volume I need. Running it into the FX return bypasses the Quilter's gain control which provides substantial additional volume.Like the OP, I tried the Atomic CLR NEO and Xitone Active wedge. I ended up selling them. Instead, I run my Fractal through a Quilter Tone Block 202 with its FRFR voicing. I've run it through the front of the amp and also through the amp's FX return, with Fractal amp and cab modelling turned ON. I have a stack of NEO 12" cabs -- a Celestion Copperback and a Celestion BNS-300. Both sound good but I prefer the FX Return route. IMO, this sounds and feels better than FRFR solutions.
Are you using +4 for the Output level?PS, I want to amend this by saying that at gigs I've found that I need to run the FM3 into the front end of the Quilter to get the volume I need. Running it into the FX return bypasses the Quilter's gain control which provides substantial additional volume.
YesAre you using +4 for the Output level?
