I've noticed that distorted effects are very susceptible to EQ in
just about any context.

I also notice that I don't have a clue how to use the EQ in the AN1X
very well. Especially with the Distortion, Overdrive and Amp Sim
effects. What does the LPF in the Amp Sim do? What are the EQ
differences (scoop, emphasis) between stack, combo and tube?

Anyone have any tips for getting good distorted sounds that don't
break up? Particularly when you sweep the filter.

One type of sound that I have tried to get is .... a thin nasal
distorted sound with a lot of high frequency buzz and not
much "rumble" from the distortion. It's something I hear a lot from
rock keyboardists like Derek Sherinian. I hear that kinda tone in
Korg keyboards, it seems.

Any advice?
