arislaf Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 It is a very easy thing to do that really sets your tone ready for mix: After the amp, add a mid focus EQ and put HP FREQ:20% HP Q:0% LP FREQ:92% GAIN 0-14% (depends on the amp) It will give you a much better tone for all amps except: DOOM, ACOUSTIC, JCM 800(Old). Try it, and let me know what you think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunpointmetal Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 isn't there a lowpass filter in the cab DEP's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunpointmetal Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Point taken. I personally don't have any EQ's in my chain as I prefer to have as much frequency to the original tracks to cut and boost as a mix will require later on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunpointmetal Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 I meant high pass, as in the the frequencies above the selected frequency goes through, I just typed the wrong thing. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pfsmith0 Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 You can see the effects of the High Pass / Low Cut DEP here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panaman Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 isnt that what the global eq is for, and how would you use it, now that we have it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arislaf Posted June 20, 2015 Author Share Posted June 20, 2015 putting high and low pass filters after the cab is an old good trick which in the years I used several times too get rid of some boominess and harshness and to better focus the cab main tone.. time ago on ideascale I suggested to put also a low pass filter to the cab parameters (in addition to the already present high pass filter), in order to save a FX slot needed for the EQ, but L6 implemented that idea in Helix and not into the HD series.. I consider the MID FOCUS EQ (which contains both filters) one of the most useful FXs into the POD.. but usually I use quite different settings than yours Aris Ι am very interested to what parameters you are using Nico. If you could share with us it would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billlorentzen Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 I'm curious which amps or cabs Arislaf and Nico apply these filters to? I haven't noticed a need on the amps I use (/13, Dr Z, SLO, Deluxe), with the mics I use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
