Drastic Mid Scoop

You might have heard the term “mid-scooped” to describe modern metal guitar tones. Since the

guitar is already a midrange instrument, cutting those frequencies while boosting the high and low

frequencies can give it a big, thick tone. Take in small doses; not enough mid frequencies can make a

guitar get “lost” in the mix since its prominent frequencies have been cut.

Subtle Mid Scoop

Many amplifiers and overdrive pedals have a very pronounced midrange. Mildly cutting the mid

frequencies can dial out some of that “honk” from classic mids-y amplifiers, giving you a full-

sounding tone without disappearing from a live mix.

Mild Bass Boost, Treble Roll-Off

A curve similar to this one can help to tame a brightly voiced amplifier or pickup. Notice how this

configuration doesn’t look too dramatic—sometimes when EQ’ing, less is more!
