mcbeddall Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Hi, does anybody have any tips about setting the parametric eq block when using a FRFR monitor for amplification, I'm talking about using it to cut the highs and lows which are a problem for me, at the moment they are making my tone harsh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NBell Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Hi there, When using an EQ I would recommend taking out the frequencies you don't want. For your example you say the highs are harsh; raise the high shelf gain a bit to hear them a bit louder, sweep through the frequencies, find the one thats giving you trouble, then back the gain off getting it out of the mix - to your taste. Try this as a starting point. Everyones ears are different, but this has always been a major rule of thumb when using EQ with tone writing on our end. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbeddall Posted February 17, 2016 Author Share Posted February 17, 2016 Thanks I've been working along those lines and I'm spotting the bad frequencies quicker now Do you know what frequencies a regular guitar cab rolls off at ? I guess they're all very different now that I think about it but when I play alone I actually like the sound of the low end of my tones but when I get together with the band I don't cut through in the mix so I have to cut some of the lower frequencies so I was curious where the low and high frequencies tend to get filtered out by a regular cab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
