My sound is good but a little too dark

[357mag]

I'm playing a Japanese Strat with Duncan YJM Furys into my POD HD Pro X. I'm using the Brt J-45 Head with a Celestion Greenback 25 cabinet. Currently using a 409 Dynamic microphone. I have the Low Cut Cab Parameter set to 50 Hz. I like my sound but my complaint is it's dark. I mean kinda on the muffled, bassy side. I've experimented with the Parametric and Graphic EQ but it still seems to sound too dark.

 

If I could keep the basic sound the same but just remove some of the bassiness and add some sparkle and mids/treble that's what I'm looking for. But I haven't been able to do it yet.

 

Are there certain Equalizers and certain frequencies I should be working with? I like the sound of Greenbacks but they sure sound like a dark speaker to me.

 

Can you help remove some of the darkness and bring me into the light?

I'm a big fan of the blackbacks... It's the cab I use almost exclusively.  I also use it live into a DT25 though, so it's apples and oranges.  Checking your input Z value may help as well.. Is it set to auto? Experiment with different values.  It's amazing what a difference it makes.

I would suggest increasing the Low Cut from 50hz up to 80 or 100.  Also the Input Z (Impedance) can make a difference.  Instead of leaving it on Auto try changing it to different numbers.  Larger number are brighter sounding.
