Just a quick question. I just noticed that when i play rhythm using 5ths and power chords with my guitar using any of the presets or the distortion/ effects in any effects pedal and also particularly the korg ax1500g, the sound just sounds very thin compared to my friend's tone who just uses a regular peavey tube amp with the foot switch for distortion. i wonder if the thin- ness of the sound in my guitar can be attributed to whatever disortion pedal i'm using/ or amp modeler and effects on the ax1500g or is it the string? I just replaced mine with Dean 8'- 32's. My friend on the other hand, uses D' Addario 11's. anyone have any input to share?
"Lets see… well I play the guitar and when I'm not playing the guitar, I think about playing the guitar. My other favorite instrument, is the guitar and if I aspired to play any other instrument, it would be the guitar...

I can’t sing so I sing through my guitar. So when the sound guy says: “Your guitar is too loud!” I think: "Why does he never say that to the vocalist?"
