[Rwp] How does eq works - cutting frequencies off guitar amp tracks.

[Hadi]

Hi there
Thank you guys for  explaining EQ and  how it works. I've read  the 
awesome post of Chris bell, I'm actually going to reread it several 
times to grasp the idea
P.S, Regarding hardware EQ that scot mentioned, I really have to get a 
guitar amp that  has some EQ settings on it, because I am extremely 
unfamiliar with it. I know what tone i'm aiming for though, so that's 
always good. I want my solo  guitar tracks to be chreemy and a bit of 
scooped, while having a  huge wall of  smooth sound for my rhythm guitar.
II've been told  lots of times that  guitar amp vsts have lots of high 
frequencies in them, compared to real amps. Does that mean that I should 
go after 7 to 10k hz frequencies?
