Hi Cut Values

I run anywhere from 8k to 10k, depending on the gain of the rig - with very clean rigs at 10k.

Over the years I have set it progressively lower and lower...used to be 10K and now I am down to around 8...again...dependant on the gain and harmonic content of the profile/amp.

Cheers,

Greg

I run about 6-7 kHz

I have a natural hi cut at just over 10khz from standing too close to the drum and brass section for 30 years. Maybe that’s why I never find profiles too fizzy.

unfortunately thats not a joke.?

me, too !

One tip for setting a high-cut or low-cut that might be useful:

Start with an extreme cut, then back it off until you hear as much of high or low frequencies as you need. It's a lot easier to hear the effect of the cut rather than starting from no cut and working until you think it's enough.

Is a good idea, Sir !

sometimes 5-6k is so tempting because of how dark and thicc it seems, i end up around 9, 10 or 11k when I want that spicy zizzle tho

I wish the hpf and lpf were in the output section. An additional EQ page for Mon and Main outs with the filter freq and slope for hpf and lpf would be a sweet addition.

Me, too. Always one slot is "wasted".

a tip from Roger Nichols (Steely Dan engineer among 1,000 others), start wide open and raise the freq of your hpf until you just start hearing a difference, then dial it back a touch. This was geared more for eliminating excess low freq on individual instruments in a mix but a good way to approach filtering overall.

That's funny that the advice I was given (admittedly not by Roger Nichols) is to start with an extreme cut, then back it off until you have as much low or high end as you need. It feels more natural to me.

there are HPF and LPF in the output section!

My Hicut is around 5.5k to 6.5k due to the frequency-response of a real guitar-speaker.

10k and up. Fizz is natural when micing an amp. IT helps to cut trough a mix. Good profiles don't need much cut anyway, because they sound natural..

This is how EVH dialed in his amps. Turn everything to 10 (or 11 or 12), then turn back a bit to keep it from blowing. True story.

A simple rule for a lot of.

I use this method f.e. tweaking reverb / delay.

so highest settings between 8k and 10 k then low cut between 50-80hz there is a great video but Rhett Skull about how to make it sound close to a real amp

For guitar I typically use low cut around 125Hz and high cut around 6kHz with FRFR speaker. I then adjust these depending on the room and the other musicians. Low cut sometimes is as high as 250Hz. This depends on bass guitar and kick drum. I stay out of the way in the low end to avoid the mud that often inhabits the low freq range. Many times, less is more. 6kHz allows for plenty of highs in terms of guitar tones.

To me, all good profiles sound as good as a real amp. I don't need someone else to tell me how to make it sound 'close'. The profiling process is so advanced that I can't imagine how it could be made any better in terms of capturing an amp at specific settings. This is the only limitation that I am aware of and which could be improved upon.
