Try rolling everything off above about 6k in the global eq.
Yeah, they're not great. Try creating some of your own - it's very simple:

Personally I wouldn't use the global eq to tinker with the patches either. I get my patches to how I want them with that switched off and then use it solely to make overall tweaks as required on a venue by venue basis. Also I seem to recall that Global EQ gets reset on firmware updates so that's another reason to avoid relying on it in your patches.
@Clarky. Can I just check? Are you referring to the number of simultaneous amps in parallel, or the number of amps that could be included in a preset and switched in and out?
The limitation is on DSP rather than a hard limit. you can have as many amps in a preset as you can fit in
Some models are more intensive than others
Top tip
Run multiple heads through an IR is more efficient than amp and cab for everything. A dual Cab gives you two cabs in stereo so you can have a pair of 4x12s with different speakers and different mids. But obviously that takes more CPU than an IR
Run the paths together to use both processors in a signal chain (there is almost no reason NOT to do this, you can still route multiple ins and outs)
Most cabs like a roll off of up to 4.5K
If you think it feels a bit stiff, increase the sag in the amp model, (I decrease it because I like it a bit more modern feeling (i.e. SS rectified)
It's been shown that in terms of DSP usage that a dual cab uses more (but not double) than a single cab, and that a single 2048 IR uses about the same as a single cab
And is that mostly for a live tone or are people typically rolling that low with recordings too?
Thanks for that Timmy, hope that's clearer
IMHO the best place to put the filter is on the cab (or IR) block and yes I was wary of seemingly sweeping cuts down to 6k ish sometimes but having tried it it works really well sometimes.
I'm always wary of.doing it in globals - would always prefer to have that unused ready for some odd.sounding room/band mate
I also never use the global eq unless I have a particularly wild room as it is a quick way of adjusting all my presets. But it is a bloody rabbit hole and I really try and avoid it if I can
I'll certainly be trying some of these suggestions..
so here's why I need 3 amps
riff = 2 hi-gain amps panned hard
solo = 1 hi-gain amp panned centre / delay / reverb
clean = 1 clean amp panned centre / reverb
this looks ok.. I can have 1 hi-gain amp in path 1 and the other hi-gain and clean amps in path 2
and use snapshots to switch them off / on and pan them [although I've not tried that yet so this is all theoretical]
so at it's most basic level, these are my tone switching requirements
