DrMr Posted June 10, 2002 Share Posted June 10, 2002 Hello! I have a problem with my low sound.I play down to B on 6-string guitar(Ibanez RG550LTD with EMG-81) and I think that distortion doesn't sound soo deep .Some people say that you need special amp to generate sounds like 7-string guitar.Should I buy new amp, new cabinet,new tubes or 7-string guitar????!!! Setup: CARVIN X-100B TUBE Power tubes: National Electronics 6CA7/EL 34 Preamb tubes:EuD or Dub(idon'tknow??) ECC83/12AX7A Cabinet/Box:Marshall 4x12,4x30W, very old box(Is this 8 or 16ohms????)

Gabriel E. Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 Before you change anything else, what string guage are you using? You'll want something big like a 0.054 or a 0.056 on the Low B or it will flap around. The X-100 should work. You might also try different speakers. The 4x12 is good but 30W speakers will be a little wooly on the low end. For more crunch, try Celestion G12T-75s. A Peavey 5150 cabinet would be a cheaper option.
