I need to disagree just a little. I am sure that some of you use filters for
your patches - isn't that just eq by another name? Keeping patches "dry" is
just making it a different patch from the one that was eq'd.

Hi All,

I agree with Jimmy.  Many of the factory (and some non-factory) patches pump
the EQ by 6-10dB, which almost always unnecessary, IMHO.  I think the goal
was to give the sounds some punch and "sizzle," but if you use a tube preamp
or amp -- I pump my AN1x through an ART Dual MP or a Speakeasy Vintage
Preamp -- or a sound processor like the Sonic Maximizer, it can easily get
to be too much.  I recommend starting with a very dry sound; if it's lacking
something, THEN add EQ, reverb, delay, etc.  You may be surprised at how
good the "vanilla" patch sounds.

Regards,

-BW
