Do i need a midboost, yes you do.
James Tyler, a great guitar player in his own right, really hated the bright lead tones of many guitarists when they would rip on a solo on the high strings. He worked with Demeter to get his midboost where Jim like the tone. It boosts around 150 so it really a bass boost, but it rolls off the highs from 3K and up creating a round and delicious soaring note.
