EQ and effects

2003-04-20 by Jerry Aiyathurai

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?

Jerry
