I've had an HX Stomp for about 1.7 years. Until recently, I hadn't known/appreciated that many real "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 (based on the Chart at Celestion), and a steep High Cut dropping the volume from about 107dB down to about 77dB in a steep 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 a 30dB decrease in one octave! The Stomp Cabs have a high cut "default setting" at 8kHz. Depending on your use: Live, Studio, Headphone, etc. those settings could be good or bad. In general, I find the stock Presets to be way too bright, and are "out of spec" for most real Cabs. I think this may be the source of many complaints of the Line 6 Helix Modelers sounded harsh, thin, lacking feel, etc. Lowering the High Cut is a good way to remedy that. Knowing this information has made it a lot easier for me to dial in Presets appropriately so they sound good through Monitoring Headphones, and feel, sound, and perform more like a real Amp.

Vielen Dank, Jakob! Great approach to stock cabs. I also recently installed P-rails with Triple Shot and saw your King's X tone, so downloaded that, just in time for King's X new release. 😄

Thanks, you're welcome. P-Rails are great PUs and King's X for sure is a great band. I am looking forward to their new record. Unfortunately, their gig in Cologne was cancelled 🙁

@@jakoblangenohl yes, heard about Ty's health issues. At least his prognosis looks good. Maybe they can come back in the near future.

Would you mind explaining the thinking behind the compressor/reverb split path?

Of course. I always put reverb in parallel. The mix parameter in the reverb block is at 100%, the desired amount of reverb is mixed with the compressed signal at the end of the split. This way the "room" amount of the signal sounds more natural - at least to my ears. It's the same way you add reverb in a production using a daw. Of course there are other ways to achieve the same goal which are just as good. This is simply my way of adding room.

@@jakoblangenohl Sehr interessanter Ansatz "So macht man das auch in der DAW". Stimmt. Könntest Du dahingehend mal ein Template/Preset hochladen, wo nur der Comp und der Reverb drin sind? Würde das gerne mal mit Deinen Einstellungen testen und dann selbst bissli experimentieren.
