Hi guys.
I've been using a Filter block at the end of the chain for years for a solo boost with the low cut at 100, the hi cut at 6000 and a level boost of 3.5 which seems to work well.
However I've seen a few videos where the PEQ is used as a solo boost after the cab (with a spike in the mids) in the following way:
Band 1+5 - Frequency 1 type - Blocking
Freq 1 at 120 HZ
Band 2+4
Freq 4 - 2000 HZ - Gain 4 Level 2 and Main Level at 2.
I really like the sound of the PEQ. My question is, if I decide to use the PEQ solo boost, is it best at the end of the chain like the Filter block or after the amp block as I've seen in some videos? Also, what's the MAIN difference with these two positions - end of chain and after amp block?
With the Filter block at the end of the chain for solos, isn't it boosting everything before it, including Delay and reverb which I have at the end of the chain BEFORE the Filter block?
With the PEQ after the cab, it's not going to boost delay and reverb (which is at the end of the chain). Is this correct?
So in your opinion, which seems to be better suited for solos and placed where in the chain?
