G-major 2: Resonance Filter as Low-pass filter?

I have recently discovered the wonders that the parametric EQ does to my tone. However, it is only 3 band and I would love to cut lots of the really high frequencies without sacrificing one of the EQ blocks.

So I am wondering.. Could the resonance filter work as a low-pass filter? I'd like to use it to cut from 12khz and above approximately, if at all possible..

If it is possible, what would be the best way to set this up? Would it add any sort of weird coloration to my tone opposed to using the parametric EQ?

Looking at the User Manual description you may be able to use the resonance filter as an hicut.
It's actually an hicut filter itself.
Just keep the resonance very low (0/10% max) and listen carefully...
I'd go for a 2nd order filter (12dB/Oct) which is already quite steep for a guitar...

In any case, a 3 band parametric would get you covered as well.
Parametric Eqs for guitar can do wonders with very few bands.... just learn to use the Width to get your bands properly covered.
It will sound better than an hicut!
 
Thanks for the tips! I'll give it a shot when I get a chance.. if it is such a drastic cut I'll try cutting just the highest frequencies it allows, 14khz and up.
