How to make a faux "4x 10" + tweeter horn" cab sim with EQ on your Zoom MS-70CDR or similar!

[Baloney Balderdash]

So I just made a sort of "4x 10" + high frequency tweeter horn" faux cab sim (not completely accurate, really just set to my personal liking, but perhaps not all that different from a 4x 10" cab with its high frequency tweeter attenuated some) on my Zoom MS-70CDR by stacking 5 of the 2 band parametric bass equalizers, "BassParaEQ", and thought I'd share it in case someone else could have use of this experiment of mine.

Of course this could be made with any 10 band parametric equalizer, and one could eventual skip the boost of the 400Hz and 800Hz bands, if they only got 8 bands available, eventual the 50Hz and 120Hz bands as well, in case they only got 6 bands at their disposal, also technically one might be able to get away with skipping the 20kHz band too, as the signal from a bass won't produce much frequency content above 10kHz anyway, and finally one might want to set the 400Hz and 800Hz bands differently, slightly boosting or cutting them according to the preferred character of the simulated cab.

 

So here's how I have the EQ's set, listed in the order of the signal flow:

Freq:  50Hz          Q: 1          Boost/Cut: +  1dB       

Freq: 120Hz         Q: 1          Boost/Cut: +  2dB    

Freq: 400Hz         Q: 4          Boost/Cut: +  2dB     

Freq: 800Hz         Q: 2          Boost/Cut: +  2dB     

Freq: 1.6kHz         Q: 2          Boost/Cut: -  1dB     

Freq:   2kHz          Q: 4          Boost/Cut: +  1dB     

Freq: 4.5kHz         Q: 4          Boost/Cut: -  1dB     

Freq: 6.3kHz         Q: 4          Boost/Cut: -  1dB     

Freq: 10kHz          Q: 1          Boost/Cut: - 20dB      

Freq: 20kHz          Q: 1          Boost/Cut: - 20dB
