Alright, i've been wrestling with this problem for a while.
I can tune my guitar a 1/2 step and a full step down and it sounds great, but once i start going lower i lose most of the punch and attack from my 3-ch dual rec. I've recently switched to EMG's but I haven't done the 18V mod yet so not sure if that will make much of a difference or not, but the problem was there in my old pups as well. Also, the lower tunings sound great on my Vox AD100VT, which admittedly isn't in the same league as the Mesa but pretty decent in it's own right for my other needs. The guitar in question is an Epiphone SG G-400, and the cabinet is a Randall straight 412 with V30's and a closed back.
Could the problem be in the cab, or do i need to back off on some of the bass on the amp? A lot of the songs i've been writing lately have been in C and they sound great at home, but i'm having a hard time convincing the band of their awesomeness at practice when they sound so weak coming from my rig :x .
