An accurate scientific explanation for why we still need treble cut with FRFR speakers and a virtual cab

The "Tilt" EQ was designed for speed. By simultaneously boosting/cutting treble and cutting/boosting bass, a single control could make a sound warmer or brighter. Back when studio time was expensive, this was a big deal :)  The original hardware Tilt circuit had a fixed center frequency of 700 Hz, unlike the Helix's variable midrange frequency. 

 

Tilt has several uses. For example, from my Helix book:

 

Legacy cabs can’t move the mic toward the speaker’s edge. However, the Tilt EQ can create an effect like moving the mic horizontally across the speaker. Moving the Tilt parameter toward the left (fig. 6.10) reduces the high-frequency response, so the sound is more like placing the mic at the speaker’s edge.

 

Another comment:

 

Use Dark to give single-coil pickups a humbucker character, and Bright to give humbuckers more of a single-coil vibe.

 

Also note in the book's analyses of the new 3.70 amps, several of the tone controls that are built into the amp have a tilt-like response. This is particularly noticeable with the Aristocrat Bass and Treble controls, the Carillon's Treble control, the Voltage's Presence control, and the Mandarin 200 Bass control. This shows the advantage of designing original amps that don't have the restrictions involved in emulating specific amps.

I wrote my book thinking about how it could help those who want to learn more. Not just the basics of "I do this because I was told", but a deep understanding of the processes. In addition, I coordinated some parts with expert writers from https://edubirdie.com/do-my-assignment to make the text more literary. My niece told me about them, she is a student. She says she typed pay someone to do my assignment into the search and came across these guys.

Thanks for explaining the Tilt EQ! I didn't realize it could be used for so many things. Once again I was convinced that it’s never too late to learn.

I just had to say, for me, this has been one of the most informative posts I've read. And enjoyable as well. Wow, an actual informative, non judgmental, mature discussion as opposed to a crappy little argument. Let's be honest. I've been guilty of the crappy little argument myself, but I'm really trying to knock that crap off. This thread has been SO refreshing. As opposed the the drivel that I myself have, unfortunately, been a part of from time to time.
