If you're interested in the subject and not convinced by -50db cancelling, I suggest you do the same as I did:

Before even trying nulling anything I was confused because I couldn't hear differences between plug-ins. So I took a high-quality spectrum analyzer (VST plug-in analyzer by Christian Budde) and made presets for each plug-in that produced the same amplitude-frequency curve. Then I processed a sound file and saved the outputs in different files. Now I could A/B-test any two files with fast switching between them. The result was that I still couldn't hear a difference. Sometimes I thought I heard something, but when I tried again, the differences disappeared. I didn't hide the name of the file that was playing. This may have made it easier to hallucinate.
