Finding fizz and removing it with EQ

[Benoni]

True-Z can make a difference, but with Active pickups, all settings sound pretty much the same - except 1M, which sounds the best to me on MOST amps/Rigs when using active pickups. Other wise I just leave True-Z on Auto, which usually defaults to 230k, at least for me because I use a Green screamer on a majority of rigs, without a DIST box ON, the Auto setting for me is usually 1M + Cap.

The exact Auto setting depends on what is ON in your signal chain at a given time and how it is structured.

and about the fizz, I guess I'm sort of figuring out how to cut out disturbing frequencies and I too actually noticed there is always fizz in the sound, even in the commercial records just as you said.

I think I'm now more accurate with parametric EQ than before, so I think I'm getting better results.

I'll put here a test record which is only 20 secs long, so you can listen to and give me further advices(if you care to )

that sounds fine to me.

if you still have the rig setting, record another pass but don't dial out the fizz
