I am currently trying to get the best possible tone for my needs (heavy, mid-gain tone with lots of clarity and single string definition) using Dual Amps to see if I can get better results than having only 1 amp. And my questions are: 1. What would be the ideal or preferable setting for the mixer when using dual amps? (I want the 2 amps to blend with each other or when using the same amp: the 2 cabs to blend with each other, in order to make a huge mono track tone. Is this possible? How can I achieve it? Tips?) 2. I saw some people suggesting to start everything with placing a midfocus EQ after the amp to cut off the frequencies that are not needed (HP: 100Hz, LP:6k Hz) or even get a second midfocus EQ with the same settings before the amp, so that the amp would have less frequencies to process and more headroom in order to get better results of it. Is this technique reasonable and "right"? 3. Some people say that some EQ's are not reliable because they make the sound more digital. Is this true? Which EQ's would be best in order to get more natural sound and still boost or cut the needed frequencies? Which EQ's make the sound more digital? (I know that EQ's are different and they are being used for different things, but in order to chase the tone I want, I am willing to make the job done with different approaches than usual, just to have the best sounding tone.) P.S: I am not worried about DSP limits or many effects on the chain. All I want from the Pod is a huge amp/cab tone that would sound as natural as possible, without all the digital fizziness/fakeness. When I assure that, I am gonna add a screamer or my external OD that I use as a boost and some noise gates and then I would use EQ's. Any tips and suggestions are welcome and very much appreciated :) Thanks in advance!
