Better Midrange Definition via High Pass Filter?

    I recently read somewhere that one can enhance low midrange presence by adding some type of high pass filter. I've found that certain patches on my Boss SE-50 have that capability, selectable at 30, 45, 60, 100 hz. The concept makes sense as lower frequencies add mud and boom, soak up a lot of power, while providing no real sonic benefit.

    Anybody have any experience with this? If so, what cut-off point are you using?

    A bunch.

    I like 50hz. with about 12db's per octave slope

    The filter point is adjustable....but not the slope. Guess I'll have to live with it. I'm a firm believer in cutting undesirable frequencies; I rarely boost anything.

    Thanks for the tip!
