Radley said:Great - keep in mind that you may need to do some minor tweaks at the gig to make it ideal. I would love to hear how it goes & what your bandmates think...InsideOut said:Wow! Great tip Rad. I just tried this on my CA3+ patch and it brought it up front much more - if that makes any sense . It sounds like it will cut through the mix much better without harshness. We'll see this weekend when I play with Animal... I mean my drummer :shock:
InsideOut said:Well thanks to mother nature, it's not going to be this weekend. We've been canceled thanks to the foot of snow we've gotten so far, and it's still coming with a vengeance .
Karl Houseknecht said:Yep, we're warming here too. Two feet of snow and counting.

It's kind of funny. When 9.0 came out lots of people were deleting EQ blocks in their patches because "these weren't necessary anymore".
Now we have threads on improving amp tones by EQ-ing, EQ-ing during the creation of IR's and improving Drive blocks by EQ-ing .... ;-)
No sarcasm here, just observing.
SparkyG said:Since upgrading to 9 and using Redwirez, I was getting great rhythm sounds, but when using a flat filter block for solo boost (as I always did before) It was too trebly.
So last few gigs I have been using a PEQ block instead of a flat filter with boost at the end of the chain. I use a peaking setting with a fairly wide Q but the peak is in the mids, so the solos cut through really nice without too much treble.
Works for me.
cheers

Funny enough I've never been big on the low cut in the amp sims. Too much makes the amps sound too 'flat' IMHO. I rather prefer finding the frequency I don't like and tame it with PEQ. Have been doing this since the beginning and still even after 9.xx.yek said:Curious: How is using an EQ different from using the low cut and high cut parameters on the Amp's advanced page?

Spot on . That's exactly my 'magic - clean bottom end' frequency range. I use it right after the cab and all is fineRDeraz said:+1 on that Vega.from what i have read,correct me if i'm wrong,the lowcut parameter is going into the amp block.so your cutting the lows on your guitar,not the amp.i always find the offending freq.'s around the 90hz to 100hz range.(at least through my speakers)usually drop them about 4db and it clears up the bottom.dropping the speaker resonant freq. in the adv. block helps also,

I believe it is actually cutting after the preamp section of the amp before the poweramp section. So it is cutting the lows on the amp after the preamps section but before the poweramp section.
Radley said:I have always noticed that my favorite speakers have substantial frequency bumps just before the high & low roll-off points - it is this same effect we are creating with these PEQ settings. The key to it all is the 'Q' parameter, because it provides us with a controllable boost, centered at the roll-off frequencies we choose.
