Global Eq for real tone

[spearfishing]

After a few years of using the Pod Go Wireless, I switched to the Stadium and to find the same sound sensation that on PA systems often becomes too sharp at the beginning, I had to set a high cut at 4300 Hz. I was quite surprised because with the Pod Go I used the Global EQ like this: Low cut 120 Hz and Hi cut 6300 Hz obtaining a very credible and pleasant sound on the high frequencies. The difference between the two machines left me very perplexed, and even with the hi-cut at 4300 Hz, the Stadium for my ears had something wrong. Then one day I started playing with the input impedances and now finally setting the impedance to 22K I found again that sensation of real sound that I had with the Pod Go and the Hi-cut on the Stadium is now at 6300 Hz. With these settings (impedance 22k, Low-cut 120 Hz 6dB per oct., Hi-cut 6300 Hz 18dB per oct.) I find that the sound is truly beautiful and credible. Even the dynamic response becomes more "true" and the amplifier models respond to the tones in a more realistic way. I emphasize that with the Pod Go I used either a buffer in front or I used it wirelessly therefore with a buffer to overcome the well-known problem of input impedance which, unlike the Stadium, made the duo too opaque.

Thanks for sharing!

So you reduced the input impedance? Instrument impedance should be higher (MOhms for tube amps)?

Sure, this should tame the highs but also lead to a more lifeless tone? 

 

I Will try this, nevertheless! Thanks!

Questo è vero ma almeno per le mie orecchie, in sala prove con la band suono da molto tempo sul sistema PA e nelle esibizioni dal vivo allestite in questo modo ho alti rotondi e non disturbano le orecchie e la mia opinione è che tutto sia più vicino alla realtà di microfonare un amplificatore, Sottolineo che i toni sono molto soggettivi e spesso ci si arriva dopo un pò di tempo facendo un pò di test e spendendoci un pò di tempo.

This is true but at least for my ears, in the rehearsal room with the band I have been playing on the P.A. system for a long time and in live performances set up like this I have highs that are round and do not bother the ears and my opinion is that everything is closer to the reality of miking an amp, I underline that the tones are very subjective and often you get there after a bit of time doing a bit of testing and spending a bit of time on it.
