purptiger Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 I have a Helix floor and use Tech 21 Power Engine Deuce Deluxes times 2. The room I have my equipment in is about 10 by 12 feet. The PEDD has a bass port in back and is totally enclosed. Since the room is so small I have to put the speakers fairly close to the wall and know this will enhance the bass and midrange boominess. The speakers has an active eq which can cut b, m, and t by 12 db. Also the Helix has a global eq and eqs in every preset. I play guitars with both single coils and humbuckers pickups. So my question is should I eq from the speaker, use global eq in Helix, or just eq each preset. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rd2rk Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 The purpose of the Global EQ is to EQ for whatever room you find yourself in so that you DON'T have to EQ each preset. The Global EQ is parametric, so it is likely more powerful than the amp's EQ, but there's no harm in trying those settings first, especially if you are not familiar with how parametric EQ works.

purptiger Posted May 5 Author Share Posted May 5 The Deuce Deluxe are powered FRFR speakers which can be used with bass guitars. It has a 12” speaker and a defeatable tweeter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rd2rk Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 I know what the PEDD is. The question is whether or not the onboard EQ will solve your problem, or if the Helix Global EQ would be better. Only way to find out is to try. FWIW - make sure that the PEDD is off the floor to prevent added boominess due to acoustic coupling. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
