Only cut things. Boosting usually adds distortion.

If gains are set correctly and unwanted peaks are cut, there is no use for these.

Why do they have bass boost on amps?

Some people actually use it to create a flatter response if they have a dip near 40hz.

Usually, noobs use it to "boost their bass"
