looking to build a small amp

[audioguru]

You may want to try different capacitor values on the output. You can create a high pass filter which will block the bass notes from being heard. This may eliminate them completely if you choose the wrong capacitance, but it may be better than a distorted muff.

No.
A filter is supposed to be at the input of an amplifier, not at its output.
Your idea will block the low frequencies but will still allow the amplifier to create distortion and the distorted harmonics will stilll go to the speaker.

ah thanks and sorry about that!
