Last week I bought a parametric (I hate graphic) EQ (Behringer Ultra-Q Pro, 5-band fully parametric, plus lo-cut and hi-cut) for my guitar system (which is composed of a Pod Pro and a *cough*Peavey*cough*solid-state*cough* power amp through a Mesa 4X12). I hooked it up and tried to do something out of it and, although I understand perfectly how it works, I had no absolutely no clue. Mostly my guitar tone was simply incredible that day so there was nothing that needed to be changed, but I don't believe in perfection, there is surely something to be improved, I just don't know what and how to do it
So I was wondering if anyone could help me understand which frequency ranges affect guitar tone and in what way, like for example, how to make the guitar cuts better through the mix, how to make it sound bigger, how to give more attack to my crunchy rhytm work. I'm talking mostly high-gain situations here.
Thanks
