That essentially just distorts the signal out of each driver to achieve artificial cross feed.

good in, good out. I've honestly never heard of anyone putting fx on their master signal until joining this group. if the track is mixed and mastered properly and your gear works as it should, it shouldn't need bandaged.

This is also why all of the best music is at least mastered on monitors. Headphones are great, but you will always get better sound from monitors.
