I am wanting to pick up a Broughton HPF and I want the one with the footswitch. My question is should
I be looking at the Low + High Pass Filter instead? Is there a ton of use for the LPF and what kind of things will that help you control? Thanks.

I'd rather have it both ways, but to control a room the HPF has been enough. I honestly went HPF and RFE

LPF isn’t usually as beneficial as HPF but having both gives you more control over the way your other effects behave. Like modulation.

Lpf can help tone down string clank and fret buzz. If your running fuzz direct with no cab sim it can help it not sound fizzy and rough.

if you want to run a stingray with the bass and treble cranked all the way, it can tame the harshness.

There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of consensus when it comes to position of the HPF, some prefer it in the front of the chain, some at the end. what about the LPF then? I was planning on trying the HPF at the end of the chain for starters and then trying it at the beginning. Is there a better position for the LPF or is it pretty much a split again?

Thanks again guys. I really do appreciate it.

Still the best setup I've ever played through. I reckon I wouldn't sale my Messenger V2 or my Khan for any amount of money lol.

Nice bass. Mayones? Barlow? Looks like the woods they use.

That's a Roscoe SKB3005 Buckeye Burl I had Custom built last year.

I like the HPF at the front of the chain, and LPF at the end.

Very much a matter of personal preference, and it depends on what your goal is. I've only had the combined HPF/LPF, and now an RFE, and run it/them at the end of my chain. I can see the benefit of having the two separate, though. Running a HPF up front cuts the uber low end, which makes the pedals downstream respond differently. It made my drives sound more mid-focused and clear, and it made the compressor react less to big peaks in the lows. I now have a compressor with a built-in HPF, though, so it's less necessary for that purpose for me. And my drives have clean blends-ish. Putting the HPF/LPF at the end of my chain, which I now do, cuts the uber lows before it hits the DI or amp, allowing your amp to be more efficient. You can get a lot more bang for your buck out of the juice in your amp when it's not trying to pump out the uber lows that nobody can hear anyway. It makes the amp sound punchier, tighter, and in some ways actually gives it more low end than without. And having the LPF at the end cuts string clank and finger noise, as well as harsh highs from drives.

Thanks for that @jacoby75.
I plan on putting one on order the end of the week so I'm gonna have to make a decision which way.

Thanks for the info all of you!

Generally speaking, many prefer the HPF at the beginning of the chain but the LPF/HPF at the end (but before any spatial effects like reverb or delay). To have control of your upper and lower slopes are, for me, essential.
