When working with filter effects you quickly get used to the sound and loose perspective on what you are doing. To avoid such listening fatigue it's good to take breaks and let the ears rest, and also compare filtered and unfiltered sounds.
To find an annoying frequency that you want to attenuate, try to first boost one of the Equalizer filters. Then, change the Frequency parameter value until the offending frequency sounds even worse than before. Next narrow in the Bandwidth, and when the frequency is optimally isolated use the Gain to decrease it.
By boosting the Shelving filters 1 and 5 and adjusting their Slopes to wide values, you can amplify the overall signal level of the Parametric Equalizer and still have the three bell filters 2, 3 and 4 left for ordinary equalizing duties.
Both the Resonance and the Delay filters can be used as Speaker filters, and unlike the global G-Force Speaker filter these can be changed into presets.
It's easy to create internal overflow with this Sub-algorithm, since it can produce very narrow frequency peaks. One way to avoid this is to lower its In level, another is to use the Compressor as a limiter after the Resonance.
You must link the Frequency parameter to a modifier in order to use it as a Wah effect, otherwise it will just sound like a real Wah pedal in a fixed position.
To minimize the footpedal switching while bypassing or recalling the Wah, try the tip about controlling and bypassing the Wah with one pedal.
There's a software bug in some older software versions that can mute the Wah when it's routed after the Reverb (with Mix set to 100% in both effect blocks).
The Formant filter works like a Wah effect were you can select among ten different formant (wovel) sounds to use in the Start, Thru and End locations of the Formant Curve. Were you are in this curve is controlled by the Sweep parameter, if this is not linked to a modifier you will only hear one of the three formants. The Formant can of course be used as a fixed filter too.
Using the Formant filter on Reverb tails can sound interesting.
The Phaser is a mono input effect with a very subtle (if any) stereo effect in its output signal (perhaps depending on the Order used). By linking an expression pedal or internal modifier to its Speed parameter nice swelling effects can be produced by briefly accelerating the Speed.
There's a software bug that can mute the Phaser when routed after the Reverb (with Mix set to 100% in both blocks).
