    Nah, what I really meant is - I didnt get the answer to whether it attenuates high freq or low freq
    :)

    I was never good in maths. Please ...

    alpha...first of all, my case is just not an impedance mismatch leading to loss of particular range of frequencies. A speaker adds its own frequency response (usually with a mid notch). Also, signal from the amp line-out might require a mic-preamp before being strong enough for the mixing board. Why can't it be weak, muddy and trebly at the same time??

    Weak: General signal strength and punch is low. Sound is missing richness.
    Muddy: Undefined, muddled...notes not distinct enough. This is not due to extra bass and loss of highs(that will cause looseness and dullness)
    Trebly: No explanation required

    Typical example would be a poorly designed cheapo distortion pedal which has volume drop, muddiness and shrillness when engaged.

    Its all word-play anyway..it basically sounded like poo going DI and that's all you need to know.:p:

    Haha OK
    I can imagine, mainly all the frequencies that are important to overdriven/distorted guitar: 400 to 4000 Hz were killed.

    And ~6000 above were boosted that made it harsh/trebly and since guitar frequencies were lacking it was weak and muddy.

    oooh and today I learnt somethign about the Metallizer ...
