Once again, mids matter in terms of the overall EQ curve. Any relationship with increased or decreased gain is associated with whatever volume increase may or may not occur, not with which frequencies are being boosted or cut. Playing clean or dirty doesn't matter; it's a function of who else you're playing with and how your frequencies sit in the mix with theirs.

It also depends upon the location of the EQ in the circuit. My old Gibson's EQ was pre-gain, meaning that I in a medium-gain situation I could roll up the mids and hear them enter distortion. Lovely. Marshall EQs are typically post-gain, so you are simply EQ-ing the results of whatever gain you've selected.

Depending on your electric guitar, a humbucker pickup might benefit from a decrease in the midrange, while a single coil pickup might need a bit of midrange oomph...

A lifetime as a working musician and the last twenty years field testing (on stages, various venues) for a boutique tube amp company allowed for some actual experience. So that combined with designing and building higher output single coil guitars w/ more mid range content, and years recording, mixing and mastering audio,.. I like to think gives me a decent, maybe unique perspective on the topic. Last edited by stephenT; 01-27-2021 at 08:07 AM. |
