Thanks again everyone! I'm gonna setup my preset in a live setting - I'd rather send a signal to the console that doesn't need a drastic high cut on the channel. What I have done now is turn off high cut on the cabs and put a high cut block immediately after the cab. This has a much steeper curve, although I am cutting as low as 3K - that seems low for me, what do others do? I guess if it works it works and the frequency is just a number after all...

Thanks for all the replies - I have been researching this for a long time... What's strange is that through my headphones, everything sounds phenomenal. As soon as I plug into our PA, the sound is thin and brittle. I need to remove so much high end information on my guitar channel in the console, even though I run a high cut block after the cabs in my presets. The brittle sound translates from the console to my in ears, but they don't sound as bad when plugged directly into the phones out on the Helix.

Got it, that's not the case!

I'm running a Helix LT which I really like. I'm running direct to the console, a Midas M32R feeding a Dynacord Powermax 5 FOH speaker system. In this setup I'm having to setup a really hard core high cut on my guitar channel in the console to avoid a really harsh tone, even though I have setup an agressive high cut of 5 K in the cab block. Is it normal to have to EQ the input channel really agressive on the console even though there is a high cut on the cab? I'm not having the issue using headphones from the Helix. '
