why go into the power amp, why not just use the preamp as the extra EQ it probably offers and set it so clean that it doesn't interfere?

I suppose if the EQ is always too extreme to get around it's an issue, or cranking it gets too compressed too fast, but I'd always make use of that pre-amp EQ instead of trying to fix the harshness/ugly that comes from going directly to the power amp. unless that's what you want go for it

well most people dont know and dont care how an amp tone stack works so they just assume that all knobs at noon is "flat". Running directly into the power amp will be much less scooped; it will have all the "junk" lows and under-power your amp's input too. I agree with your opinion. The clean channel of high gain amps are really clean so it should do. https://www.guitarscience.net/tsc/fender.htm

Also somebody make me shut up about this shit, it's way too nerdy

I think a bax both boosts and cuts, it's some negative feedback thing. Everybody calls a james tonestack baxandall too because they are very similar

Maybe. In the circuit it probably doesnt have much signifigance. Like if you have a booster pedal wih a bax it shouldnt matter much if its a passive eq or not since you are already boosting; go ahead, cut signal out

Did this with a DOD Grunge once and it was pretty fun.
