I use Mesa Dual Rectifier solo head thru a custom Mesa 4x12 grill cab with 200 watt EV's and a Marshall 4x12 bottom celestian.
I have tons of rack gear but i have found that i get a cleaner sound esp for sweep picking with just the amp.
While playing a DT cover, As I Am in C, I decided to see how dirty I could get the guitar to sound so I backed the Tone pot all the way.
After doing that , it was like a lightbulb went off!!
I soon realized that if I turn the tone pot all the way back or most of the way, it will cut out the higher frequencies and allow a richer, cleaner and fuller sounding sweep arpeggios..
Thats what I have started doing and its been great! And does wonders for the really fast stuff and quick legatos with alot of pull offs at faster tempos.
I would never had thought it would be so effctive.. Im the kinda player that just leaves the tone knob on 100%...
Not any longer..
Let me know if it has the same effect on any of you..
maybe Im just getting old and tone def...

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Nope, not everything. Only the one string. For Drop tuning, you just drop the lowest string a step so it's the same as the fourth string and you can play power chords with one finger.
Standard E... drop the E to D for Drop D.
Standard D... drop the D down to C for Drop C.

I feel my soul go cold... only the dead are smiling.

C standard tuning goes from heavy string up:
C F A# D# G# C
Drop C is like this:
C G C G A D
correct me if i'm wrong guys. I'm having mental pause here.
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Isn;t Standard C tuning
C G C G C E
or
C Gb B E Ab C?
Maybe some one can correct me [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] </font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">ok, you're wrong..first one you posted is open C tuning...big difference between open and standard. and I have no idea what monster you've created witht hat second suggestion... but power chords are gonna sound NASTY! you've got a augmented 4th in the two lowest strings. I suppose you could play with that tuning..but it'd be really fuckin weird.
