fascinating to see the comparison of the slope between cab block and the hi/lo pass block!

Thanks Jason. I always like the level of detail you put into your videos. Showing the visual with the EQ was a nice way to "see" what's going on too. Thanks!

Thank you. No matter what it is you talk and get into the weed about, the importance your listening skills are the biggest thing I always come away with.

The EQ demo between the two blocks was an eye-opener regarding the different EQ curves being used. Thanks.

Your ears are everything. I find jamming along with a mixed track helps with dialing in.

I got my HX Stomp about 1.5 years ago, and unfortunately did not see this incredibly helpful video until about 6 months ago. I went down many a tone rabbit hole trying to figure out to tame the high end harshness I was getting. There are many approaches to deal with that, but most only supplied minor relief. It wasn't until I learned to switch Mics, did I find a meaningful solution, but I was still missing something. That missing piece was setting the Cab High and Low Cuts to the Real Speaker Frequency Range, and I can now get the tone and performance I was looking for in all the Cab Blocks. Until recently, I hadn't known/appreciated that many "Guitar Cab Speakers," including Classics like the Celestion, have shocking steep high frequency cutoffs around 4-5kHz! The Celestion G12M Greenback has a Frequency Range Spec of 75Hz - 5,000kHz, and a steep High Cut dropping the volume from about 107dB down to about 77dB in a nearly straight line slope in the range from around 3.5kHz to 7kHz. I'm not sure if I calculated this right, but I think that is 30dB decrease in one octave! Do you/anyone know how many dBs the High Cut on the HX Stomp Cab Block is for that same frequency range?

Great stuff as always. I had thought you'd address global eq also. I'm guessing you'd say, sure, but remember it paints everything with the same brush. As soon as you want to vary it for a preset you have to go back and set for all of them. I'm guessing global eq is best for room to room adjustment.

Thanks for all your work! I consider myself pretty sonically intuitive, but this channel has really expanded my understanding of, tone, timbre, amps, mics, effects, etc. Excellent video as usual!

Great advice. I think people can go overboard with the high cut because they’re chasing a harsh frequency that isn’t as high as you might think, it’s more in the 2-3k range. But that’s a topic for another video!

Many people hate the "fizz" and do everything to eliminate it. But this is what makes our guitars sound great in a mix! Marshalls, you may argue but they are fizzy amps, are one of the most played live and recorded amps ever! You may have an awesome tone that will get lost in a mix but sounds GREAT on its own. And vice versa.

Jason, thank you again for your fantastic work! I was wondering perhaps you might consider dedicating a few episodes of your Great Tone series to bass guitars?

This is a cool comparison you’ve done. I find I prefer the gentler slope of the cab eq for just making a tone. If needing more extreme in a mix, I’d probably do it in the mix as opposed to the preset I might use in other places. It could be the that “phi” in the old wave equation is having a bit too much impact with the more extreme dB/octave - IE, more poles and more phase shift to the input. When the guitar is mixed in with other things going on, I think the more prevalent phase shifting is overshadowed by the other instruments. However, with a guitar by itself, I find I like the gentler slopes that by nature have less phase shifting (just by the nature of fewer poles in the filter).

Excellent video. I usually start with selecting a mic in my HX Stomp Cab Block that gets me close. Then I use the High and Low cut in the same Block to dial it in. The final nuances of dialing in are done with my guitar tone knob and how I play. How would you approach creating a "notch filter" for a specific frequency, like 700Hz with a small Q, for taming a "wolf" on an Acoustic Guitar using the tools available in an HX Stomp?

I have a POD GO and an HX Effects in the fx loop so I can just maximize the GO for amps and cabs. Sounds like I should use the EQ block as well.

@Jason Sadites I was also wondering your thoughts about using the High/Low EQ block as opposed to the global EQ for cutting highs and lows. I have an HX Stomp, so every block counts. Thanks!

Thanks! If you are referring to both the cuts in the cab block and the eq block, yes it would be redundant.

If you use your ears and not your eyes it’s unnecessary to add blocks
