Djent EQ

I often get asked about EQ'ing to make guitar sound better and/or more 'djent'.

The simple answer is that there is no EQ that will magically make your guitar tracks sound good. They should sounds good and djent before any EQ is applied.

The actual djent sound comes from the way you play; you should be playing two octave power chords (e.g. 2-4-4-6 low to high), pick heavily and palm mute away from the bridge. Use a decent plectrum such as the Jazz III.

Once your tone is djenty, you can work on EQ'ing to tweak the sound. Most often djent bands like to cut out the lows entirely (< 120Hz), a slight cut to the low mids (120 - 300Hz), boost the high mids (1.5KHz), and a slight boost to the highs ( > 4KHz).

Let the bass handle the lows and the guitars handle the mids, even if they're in the same pitch (ala Meshuggah).
