fave eq settings

flat ... I wont buy an amp unless it sounds good flat ... then will EQ (slightly) to complensate for room or mix ... I will also suit to room by cab selection ... I like to plug and play ... and with my Yamaha I flip a dial for a few different bass sounds, but mostly still set flat ...

BTW, congrats on registration and first post

 

With my Genz Benz I keep everything flat and kick in the mid switch with the Knob at 12:00 everything else flat and it sounds Great. Speakers are Genz Benz XB 210 and Avatar Neo 112.

 

same here.. just flat

 

i boost the low mids to get the pant flapping punch in the chest kinda feeling

 

Lately, flat with just adjustments for the specific problem freqs of a particular room.

 

Flat, flat, flat. All day long.

I run my bass EQ flat as well, usually, unless I'm slapping, at which point I'll boost the treble slightly.

I MUST have mids at all times.

 

When I'm using the Sunn 200s & Sceptre together, I'll run the 200s with the bass at 10, treble at 0, lo boost ON, hi boost OFF. Volume between 6 & 10 On the Sceptre, I'll run the mids (contour) at 10, treble wherever (doesn't seem to do much for some reason), bass at 0, volume at 8-10. When I just use the Sceptre alone, i'll bump the bass up to one, but that amp has a massive low end when it's overdriving already.

 

2-10-2, ("Whoo-hoo") .... Thanks, thats the most fun I've had all day.. .

 

On my Genz Benz's 5 band EQ I keep the bass flat, boost the low mids to ~2 o clock, keep the mid mids flat, boost the high mids to ~3:30, and cut the treble to ~10 o clock. I also use the Low Extend button.

 

Another flat-lander here... both on heads and basses. I even keep the eq on a pedal like the BDDI pretty flat... (with the previously mentioned very subtle adjustments for venue/mix). It has only been a relatively recent development as I was a compulsive settings fiddler for ages! It was as if I never even contemplated leaving things flat - in fact I may have simply stumbled on a flat set up. I'm really enjoying it.

 

usually flat

 

Generally, I boost low mids and high mids a bit. Cut treble a bit. Lows usually flat. I might increase the treble and decrease the mids just a little for slapping, though.

 

On my Genz ML200

- Bass at 2:00
- Mid level at 3:30
- Mid feq. at 10:00 (or at 2:00 when slapping)
- treble at 2:30

- treble boost on.

 

Every thing is Flat on the amp. I use a tube emulator and a limiter/enhancer. I use the 5 band eq on my Bongo and just use a hint of low and high mids. Nice growl but not to overbearing

 

This is my "usual" setting.

Works better/best for a lead/chordal approach

Bass 2.5
Mid 3.5
Treble 5
Presence 2.5

I play with a pick and use a jazz bridge pickup soloed, tone pot is all the way up, I use Rotosound swing bass strings, gauges low-to-high: 95 75 60 40. My bass is a fretted washburn made out of basswod, with a quilted maple top.

(You guys are probably plotting to kill me for posting setting like this)

 

I keep it flat, but boost the mids if it's not defined enough and lower the bass if it's too boomy at higher volumes.

 

Lows - 1 o'clock
Mids - 2 o'clock
Highs - 12 o'clock

The Schroeder loves mids
