I've noticed that when you tune down your guitar, the low notes gets very sloppy and undefined when playing palm mutes and fast riffs. For instance I went to a store the other day and tried out the Ibanez Mick Thomson signature, Factory-equipped with heavy strings tuned to C# tuning with a dropped B:(low to high) B-F#-B-E-G#-C#. The body of this guitar is mahogany and I'm not completely sure how that affected the character of the tone. I played trough a Line 6/bogner amp, spider or something, the new thing with tubes. I used the insane setting and god damnit it sucked, It was so sloppy and loose in the low end, at some point I thought, it's the guitar, the notes are to low. So I went and changed it for a Jackson RR body made of Alder, standard tuning. And suddenly that amp rocked, You could here every stroke when playing palm mute on open string, it was way more defined and tight,

This got my thinking, maybe my guitars would sound alot better if I tuned them to standrad instead of one whole step down. At the moment I put an equ infornt of the amp to kill alot of bass and boost up the mid inorder to get a tighter tone.

Anyone experienced something similar? Can anyone explain how this works?
