H P F patch on ZoomB1 Four

[jezzaboy]

Anyone use this patch live?

[Al Krow]

I've used it as standard on pretty much all my patches for live use, to tighten up the low end. Cut bass at about 50Hz.

I have used the HPF on the B 1 Four for many years.

One patch set at 40hz and a second set at 30hz. 

All my patches included a HPF.

Where in the chain, at the end after any Amp/Cab Sim?

As I don't use an Octaver in any of my patches I have the HPF at the start of my patch chain.

I only use 8 patches for the covers bands I'm in.

6 are for specific song types made up of compressor, drive and amp SIM.

The 2 other patches are just "Always on" HPF one at 30hz and one at 40hz. 

To get as close as possible to emulate a Thumpinator I use 2 HPFs in series in each of the patch chains as I understand a single B1FOUR HPF has a 12db per octave slope , so by using 2 HPF in series the result is a 24db per octave slope.

Seems to work for my needs by tightening up the low end.

I know some of the amps I use (Fender Rumble 800 combo, Fender Rumble 800 HD + BF Super Compact, Mesa D800 Subway+ BF Super Compact, Peavey Mini max 500 + BC110) have some form of HPF built into their circuit designs but using an always on HPF before the amp simply provides a "belt & braces" approach to tighten up the low end.

Having a 40hz & 30hz HPF patch makes it simple to toggle between the two to compensate for room and stage issues.

It's probably worthwhile taking a look at the Zoom B1FOUR patches thread that @Al Krow started to see some of the ways players configure their B1FOURs.
