It appears to me to be talking about notching as well and not boosting. But I haven't read much of the text, just mostly looked at the diagrams.

Are you working with stereo signals or mono signals?
To make mono signals sound "wide" like stereo signals, I use a couple different stereo effects. One of them is a Voxengo freebie
Audio Delay which allows you to delay one side and create a "pseudo stereo" effect. This creates a stereo image that is all the way right/left. The other effect I use is one built into my recording program Samplitude that adjusts the stereo image anywhere from mono to "enhanced" stereo. I've been looking for a freebie effect that does this same thing, but everyone I have found sounds terrible.
The way I use it is I use the Voxengo to widen the stereo image using a delay of around 20ms to 28ms, tweaking just 1ms makes a difference in the sound and I often use the knobs to the right of the decimal point to make adjustments under 1ms and really dial in the sound I want. Then I use the stereo width adjustment in samplitude to reduce the stereo image and bring it closer to "mono" if I don't want such a wide right/left stereo image. This method works exteremely well and does a lot to spread out mono signals.
