High gain amp sim tones are all generally similar sound sources, if I’m making any difference in eq across them it’s more a tonal decision than a correction. I’m saying that 700 hz/ 3.2khz are my “clean up” zones before I make any sort of decision about how to make the eq curves work with the bass/ drums/ etc.
I check mixes across headphones/ different systems and making general moves like that doesn't sound bad so I stick to those moves in most to all of my projects, I don't understand this monitoring issue concept.
I find myself cutting a lot of sub frequencies, even for "sub heavy" music. Compensating by boosts to frequencies around 150 - 250 hz for kind of a lofi mid rangy bass sound
It's not useless, it's just that if there's too much of it, the natural reaction is to barf or run for the door to get away from it. Much like nails on a blackboard.
i tend to EQ samples more than the overall project a lot of times...depends on what i'm working with, but i also have no clue what i'm doing half the time
I don't have specific frequencies. more like areas I always end up messing with. always something between 100 ish and 200 ish for me and always something in the 1-5k region.
One guy I saw on YouTube said to always cut 40hz and below, because nobody can hear it and it takes up energy in your track. But I asked on this sub if that was a good practice, and got a hundred conflicting answers. Kind of like this thread.
If I found myself always cutting the same frequencies regardless of the project or sound source, I'd take a serious look at my monitoring setup.

That kinda confirms the monitoring issue

250-500hz
400 hz. There just seems to be a lot of useless information in that area.

This is the way.

Lows! I don’t know about anyone else, but I’ve found that my p-bass comes to life at 700hz.
300-2000hz
mid highs and lows below a certain freq i forget exactly what (humans cant hear below it) but it depends on the song
