harveyrocks1970 Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 seeing that im a bit of an idiot can someone please post the default settings for the new global eq cos ive messed with mine and cant remember what the defaults were,thanks :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncann Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Lo Cut: 20Hz Low: 150Hz Mid: 1.8KHz High: 8.0KHz High Cut: 20Khz All Qs are 0.7 All Gains are 0.0dB The EQ defaults to ON. To get the default values back you can also do a global reset, but that's kind of a pain. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pfsmith0 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I'm even a bigger idiot. I upgraded my HD500, Edit, Line Monkey, etc. Where in the world do I find the Global EQ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie_Watt Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 It's not in Edit which I think sort of sucks. I never twiddle the knobs. I like to use Edit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellforce Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Does anyone have some Global Eq settings that will work good with a poweramp ex. velocity 300 and a mesa boogie 4x12 cab. I tried to tweek and tweek but i am not good at this so i am not very happy with my sound. Or even better someone that has some presets that will work great with my gear.

Global Eq is not something to use in this manner. It is for you to make final adjustments to your overall tone to match different venues you may be playing at. Unless there is a specific acoustical problem in your regular practice space, leave it set at the default position and make all tone adjustments within the patch. Then if you go to another location that needs a little more overall treble or perhaps less bass, you can use the global EQ to make that adjustment for ALL your tones at one time. Set it back to default when you return home. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting... but what happens when you switch to a preset that uses a different cab? EDIT: or, I guess you mean a physical guitar cab using Pod HD pre-amps without mic/cab simulation? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radatats Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I half disagree with you. I have used a global EQ to compensate for the freq response curve of a guitar cab to make it more flat. Sure you can use it for anything you want but that is not what it was MEANT for... and as soon as you are done with that cab then you would go back to your default setting or turn it off. Still not what the guy I was responding to was asking for though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaceatl Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Well, couldn't one argue that using the EQ as cab correction is nearly the same as room correction....They tend to go a bit hand in hand.... After all, the cab you are correcting for is in a room...And if it's a "Room Full of Mirrors", then there is some room correction happening too....In the situation of using a real speaker cabinet of ANY type, the ONLY time a room isn't there is outside...and even then you can have roof and stage reflections...so even then it is still a room of sorts... I see this splitting hairs. Some of you have some very interesting fundamental notions on when/where/what functionality should be used...great stuff always...

radatats Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Well, couldn't one argue that using the EQ as cab correction is nearly the same as room correction....They tend to go a bit hand in hand.... True... However, if it was your main cab used on a regular basis, would you not adjust your patches to a good baseline and then use the Global EQ to adjust back to baseline when you change locations? OK, I'll shut up now. Of course it is just another tool to be used for whatever it works for, there are no rules. The guy I was answering was asking for us to share our settings though which to me would be totally unworkable without us being in the same room with the same gear...

pianoguyy Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Yes, Yes, and Yes. Everyone is correct ==> except the ones that are wrong. Room correction. Cab switching. Of course you can use the EQ for that. The same as you use the volume knob as needed. But -- to quote myself -- if you adjust the GEQ to help create a patch, you just ruined all of your other patches. Master Volume and Master Equalizer are long term commitments. You don't adjust them for every song. You set them at the start of the night and you leave them be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still not what the guy I was responding to was asking for though... I guess my main disagreement is over what Global EQ was MEANT for. I haven't seen anywhere what Global EQ was specifically MEANT for. Didn't know it was MEANT for any specific problem. And in regard to one cabinet, I play through various equipment, several cabs. several amps and often direct, so as a baseline, I will look up a cab or amps freq response graph and Gobal EQ accordingly.

I see what your doing. Treating each cab like a different venue. Different cabs need different settings to keep the tone close to baseline. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digital_Igloo Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I haven't seen anywhere what Global EQ was specifically MEANT for. Didn't know it was MEANT for any specific problem. From the 2.62 release notes: Global EQ is used for compensating for the wide disparity in acoustic environments on tour or when traveling from studio to studio, and is applied to all setlists and presets.

Digital_Igloo Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 exactly what model has been ported from the X modeling technology into the HD platform to make the "acoustic" model? IIRC, it's the acoustic amp from POD Farm 2.5. Some people think it's meant to emulate an acoustic guitar; it's designed to be used with an acoustic guitar... or the acoustic guitar models from Variax.

medievil1 Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 My old Digitech RP250 is the only multieffects I have ever owned that actually had an acoustic simulator in it acoustic and 12 string.. it was decent but still had the thin electric sound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTSC777 Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 I could have used the Global EQ last night at a gig at a 200 plus seat club.The owners are flipping out about volume and a dance permit and the police are all over the place so we had to play very quietly which of course killed much of my tone having to play at such low volume.Global EQ could have kept things a bit brighter as I turned my master volume down below the anemic level.Of course after turning down the bass player and drummer told me to turn up because they were drowning me out lol! I held my ground and refused to turn up smiled had a good time and got my money!!!! Bring on the Global EQ!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTSC777 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Very happy to report I have updated drivers/firmware and L6 edit on my HD500. I have not added any model packs yet. The Global EQ is beautiful! Testing a few minutes ago through headphones is it possible that the whole damn thing sounds better? And by that I mean the full cabinet modelled patches I wrote myself that I have been somewhat avoiding and using a small power amp cab instead. I know companies don't tell you everything that is in a firmware revision. This overall improvement has been noted on some other forums I visit. Excited to crank it up through a couple FRFR setups I have tomorrow. That will be the real test! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And by that I mean the full cabinet modelled patches I wrote myself that I have been somewhat avoiding and using a small power amp cab instead. Ya know, I just updated mine on Thursday. I didn't get to really test it out other than a few minutes in the headphones. I too thought that the unit itself sounded better. I figured it sounded different because I didn't really have the headphones on for actual playing, just a quick toss to make sure everything was working. But then I loaded it up and had it out. I wasn't the only one that thought it sounded different. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blessed1 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I play a JTV 69 through the HD500x. The mag pups sparkle and sound great but most of the models globally sounds very mid rangey, nasal, and dull to my ears especially once I compared them using the same settings, to similar guitars they were modelled after which a lot of them I have. This forced me to use the mag pickups all the time, it was fine when I was playing songs that required a Strat but totally defeated the reason why I bought the JTV 69 which was to use as my main ax so that I didn't have to carry a bunch of guitars. We cover 30 songs a show and I've created a patch for each song and assigned different guitar models for each patch. I tried to use the EQ's in the effects section of the HD500x to alter the tone of models but those EQ's display % and not freq. so you don't know what you're cutting or boosting which makes it hard for me to dial in a good tone. So I use the global EQ actually to EQ the guitar because the lows, mids, highs, and cuts display freq. I was able to cut that nasal sounding 1.5k mid range and add some clarity and a little body to the overall tone of the guitar.​ My amps are mic'd so the sound engineer uses the channel EQ's on the board to adjust for room acoustics. I hope Line 6 add a feature in Workbench where you can use the model tone on the JTV's as a base line and adjust the EQ. of each guitar to the individuals taste and save it globally or per preset. For example a maple neck Strat and a Rosewood neck Strat, both are Strat's but 2 totally different sounds and change all the EQ's in the HD500X to display freq. like rack mount units. Also it would be nice if someone from L6 would do a tutorial showing the global EQ setting and the EQ setting used when recording their videos cause they sound great!
