Mimicking CaptorX EQ / enhancer

andyg_prs

Hi,

Currently I use an Engl Ironball via CaptorX to FoH.  I'm thinking of moving to the Ironball SE with built in IRs to cut down on kit.

The 5-band EQ and enhancer functions on the CaptorX are super powerful and particularly for raucous bands, help me get a sound that cuts through the mix in a way I like without too many volume wars.

I think part of the power is those functions being the very last thing in the chain.

What's the best way to emulate those CaptorX functions?  I guess an EQ in the loop could be kind of similar....but it's still pre not post power amp.

Thanks,
Andy

From the manual:

The Enhancer is a combination of dynamic and tone-shaping tools especially tailored for your guitar and/or bass.

Body is a compressor with a high-pass filter (set at 100hz in Guitar mode). It only affects the low-mids and above frequencies of the signal.   Body will render your tone fuller and more present. Thickness and Brilliance emphasize the low end and high end of the tone, respectively.

Thickness is centered at 400 Hz in Guitar mode
