God Damn it . . .

I have experienced this a lot. What I have learned so far is that I can only rely on Michael Britt profiles.
High output humbuckers have too much low end in too many other profiles for purchase out there.
-
Even for higher gain amps ?

Maybe this is a stupid thought, but why not simply use the low cut which is available in the studio and graphic EQs?

It could also be the placement of the cabinet close to the wall or a corner, the closer to the wall the more bass you will get.

Also with headphones (audiotechnica ATH-50)

Yeah I did this and with good results , cutting 6 db around 120 Hz helps a lot ... haven't tried it through my cab yet , only studio monitors and headphones.
However I do wonder why lot's of the high gain profiles sound boomy ...Also wonder what Q i need to dial in without sacrificing overall tone ...

RafIn the cab parameter there's a bass shift that you can shift to the right and that could help,, but if you can record a clip and let us know what profile,, listen to the recorded clip and see if the boomiiness is also there. I wonder if you have your output settings as they should be.

I'll check the bass shift , will try to record as well ... what could be wrong with the output settings ?
Thx

A hundred and twenty "megahertz" ? Man that guys got good hearing!
Small m, so that must be millihertz, right?

I have a preset on my Kemper that is called "EQ NoBoomy E-A". Do not recall where I got it from.
Here it is:

Small h, so it's not even Hertz.

Whenever a guitar track finds its way into a real song with all the other instruments the mix engineer would do this anyway. With a setting so high no guitar player would like to hear his track soloed.

Exactly. That's why I thought of the low cut option rather than the low pass.

Small cut in the 120-150Hz area solves the problem for me.

What do you consider a small cut ? dB wise or in Q value

A low pass would keep the "oomph" and throw out everything else...

The problem with cutting the low end with eq is that anything other than palm muted parts start to sound thin. I prefer frequency conscious compression because it only becomes active when needed.
