Best frequency settings to use

[burgerdj]

Can’t be emphasized enough: for live situations start with your input gain and adjust your master volume to playing level before messing with any eq. Only then should you begin to adjust eq for a specific tone. With volume comes a complicated relationship of frequency interactions with other instruments and the playing environment itself.

What are the best frequency settings to use on your eq setup on your pedal board. I like a deep bass tone but sharp clean punch sound to go though all the noise from rest of band. No muddy sounds

Sounds like using a pick would get you further than an EQ towards that goal

I'm a big fan of all of them. Congratulations, you're already sorted.

Two quick suggestions....

Rather than boosting frequencies that seem lacking, approach EQ as a tool to remove whatever is overpowering those frequencies. A slight boost is usually not problematic, but overdoing boost can cause a reduction in headroom or degradation in overall sound quality. Cut what there's too much of, and you'll find you have a cleaner sound and the other stuff will sound boosted.

"Mud," to my ears, lives around 220Hz. That's usually my initial cut.

Every room/stage differs but you have to start somewhere, so break down the process.

Start with the low fundamentals - bass EQ flat, mids and treble low.
Is the bottom end even? If not check the (neck) PU height, then the EQ.
IMO the fundamental is the backbone of any bass sound.
A flat output from my bass gave me more headroom further down the chain..

Now add mids to your choice, followed by highs. Or add highs first, and fill in the mids.

Sometimes more gain and less EQ will give you a fatter sound.
