Speaker resonance when using a SS power amp and traditional cab

[marshall2553]

I was wondering if there was a "correct" way to set high and low speaker resonance in the amp block when you're playing through a solid state power amp into a traditional cab. It seems like the default values may be redundant in this scenario and over-emphasize certain frequencies. Is setting it flat the way to go?

You should set the low res in the amp block to the resonance frequency of your cab.

If you want your head explode, read THIS.
Maybe you should try the "worst method" posted at the end.

Hmm, I guess I'll ballpark the low frequency with my actual speaker and adjust the resonance and Q to taste. I don't see much mention of how to adjust HF resonance and I've never seen that listed in speaker specs.

Basically I would turn the knob slowly until I heard the room kind of rumble and shake. You'll know it when you hear it. Make sure you use a treated room, or you may run into a node/resonant frequency around A-Bb on the low string (common for most rooms in a house).

Ever since quantum, I've used the default per amp and its sounded great. Using a matrix gt800fx.
