I have no idea why they made those "mid cut" buttons on amps for a while

you still see them on amps all the time. its because for some reason beyond me it became cool to scoop your mids to achieve that 'aggressive metal tone' when in fact its what morons do in their bedrooms. scooped mids sound great when youre wanking away a bedroom volumes but god help you when you crank that thing up.

Here's the other problem with scooping:

As I said before, you got this mid/treble instrument. Kill the mid, what do you get? You got it, pretty much treble.

So put a bass player in...he's doing all the work on the low end. Now your low end sound gets masked by his. So all the audience hears is fucking HISSY TREBLE and NO definition to whatever is being played.

I see this so often, and it's such a simple thing to fix.

Food for thought, Brian Viglione taught me how to properly EQ an amp when I was 16. Weird, huh?
