I measured last year some stuff of my chain. My Aguilar Tone Hammer 350 (the preamp is the same of the 500) has an HPF fixed at 20Hz, -3dB, slope is something between -6dB and -12dB/octave (if my vision is correct here). ARTA software graphic pic attached.
We maybe aren't hearing if the HPF is doing something because it's working below our hearing capabilities.
