So this is my set-up:
British Laney with four 75 watt eminence Lady Luck speakers wired to 4 ohms
Randall century 170 head 4 ohms
Schecter 7 string damien diamond series
1984 proco rat distortion pedal

My problem: I wish my tone had some bottom end. It is super high gain - and I knew that when I got the head. I like what I'm getting from my rat, but what can I do to add some bass/low end to my tone. On my eq on the head I have the bass turned all the way up, the mid around half-way and the treble a 1/4 of the way turned up.
Any suggestions? As far as pedals I'm think about getting an eq. Or should I get an overdrive? I know king buzzo uses a bass overdrive....
Thanks

A Muff

^^^^^^^^^

Other than a muff. I just traded one I had for the rat. I kind of regret it, but oh well, I was feeling spontaneous. I'm going to live with it..
I've been told a mxr 6 band equalizer...

And pelliott, I live in Nashville too!

get Pharaoh. Put Pharaoh in front of Rat.

A pharaoh sounds like a great idea. I've always wanted one.
So put the pharaoh in front of the rat and use both? I guess I could experiment around with them...
Thanks!

Any other suggestions?

Yes, get a pharaoh.
However, I prefer my rat in front of my pharaoh. I use my pharaoh for my main dirt and the Rat set for very low gain as a riff/solo boost.

Pretty much any BAT dirt will give you low end you're looking for -- LSTR, Pharaoh (great idea stacking the Rat with it), Quantum Mystic in particular.

What part of town you live in man?

Yep. BAT is the answer if you are missing some low end.

I've also had my eye on the BAT black sheep. Anyone own one or played one?

I live in a Hermitage, Tn. A little east of downtown Nashville. I work at Mitchell Delicatessen in East Nashville....

+1 to a Pharoah. But I bet there are a bunch of muffs for sale on cl for $50 or less. You could also try a preamp/eq our even the BAT revelation superbass. Just my thoughts.

Awww yeah. I'm the athletic trainer for one of the high schools in East Nashville. I'll probably be by Mitchell very soon. The sandwiches sound awesome and the beer selection is excellent.

I think the quantum mystic is what I'm looking for... I'm pretty sure. From what I've read and seen in videos it's what I need...

But yeah, I'm the kitchen manager there. We're a sandwich and beer nerds paradise! Let me know when you are planning to stop by!
I trying to start up a band but haven't found serious people. Seems like everyone is country or black keys. Ever hear of black tar prophet? Local 2 piece drone/doom band. I just saw them last month at spring water.. Pretty cool stuff...

black tar prophet kicks ass.
your name is swollen pickle.
get that for lows.

QM would be great. I still say get a pharaoh. You can stack that puppy with everything and it sounds ballsier. Good on its own as well.
QM would be a singular solution to what it sounds lie you are going for, it can cover a lot of ground as well.
