Yes, I think so, too. Probably because that mashed squared wave doesn't
have any character. Just a flat, amplified bee-buzz.

Also, your [earlier written] advice is good about rolling off some highs
and lows...Because at home (by yourself) a sound seems cool, but in a band,
you share sonic space and frequencies with other instruments. So that
marvelous "BIG" patch doesn't need to take up ALL the frequencies!
