Good frequency range for mid boost/cut?

[appliancide]

So I picked up a few lm1036 chips to experiment with. Mainly I am using them
to be able to control the mix of two signals with a foot pedal but they also have circuitry for treble and bass boost/cut built in to them.  What I am wondering is which of those two responses would be most suited to midrange duty.

Also helpful would be the frequency range that is considered "mid range" when it comes to guitar signals.

I am considering using the bass and treble controls as intended and just adding a mid boost/cut after the two signals are combined.

If I remember correctly, mid 'range' is from about 100-1100 hz.  But its a log scale, so the peak would fall 400-450 or so.

My idea of mid-range values change daily haha, but if your looking for something that would sound like a mid boost and bring out the geeetar in a mix then you should try around 780-1.8khz. 1.2ish is usually my favourite if I am mixing. By the way this is studio work, I have no idea which frequency that mid boost pedals work off.

In a mid boost/cut I designed, I think I used around 750Hz, although that partially came about because I was missing some components.

I found a nice mid boost/cut on this site that I am going to play around with.

I really don't think these lm1036 chips are worth messing with. I am just going to
wire the mix pot to a switch to select between the pot and expression pedal.

Rig up a tone stack with sweepable mids. Something like an MT-2. Set the bass and treble to 12:00 and adjust the mid-level to full boost. Sweep the frequency until you find one that you hate then cut the level down for that range. You could put a permanent notch filter in it's place. Then sweep for a mid frequency you like and either make a permanent filter or keep it semi-parametric.

If viewed from a mixing point... you'd want the guitars bass not to collide with the bassdrum and the bassguitar so everything below 160Hz
is fluff and oomph. Fun at rehearsals, but gets muddy in a mix.

So that guitar "gut" lies at 200-300Hz

The mid you want to scoop for a heavy tone is around 600-800Hz

The pick attack and "more guitar" treble bite we like is at 3000-4000Hz (3-4kHz)

Above that is "air" that we like on clean tones, but not on distorted tones.
