I tend to like a hot sound and so far set the EQ in the smile position and have added some compressor. To me I like it, BUT, this much I learned from a local sound man. He has used a younger female to help him test EQ. Why? First men hear better lower, women hear the highs better. As we get older and especially if we've played in loud bands, haha, we don't hear as well in the upper frequencies. So, if it sounds good to us, ahem, slightly older guys, it may be too harsh for the ladies. So, he said if he has no female to help him set EQ, he set's it the way it sounds good to him and then he backs down the highs a bit.

As I tweak my T4 I am asking the ladies in the audience their opinions:)
