Amplifier Upgrade

>>1091388
Get a signal splitter and get a bass amp. Then learn loops so you can fake two instruments at once

>>1091393
Also try drop c

>>1091393
Seems like an more complicated solution lol
>>1091395
I play in C#, so my guitar is already downtuned

Using an instrument cable instead of a speaker cable could make weird stuff happen, but only as long as it is in use. There isn't a lasting effect.

Are you still using an instrument cable instead of a speaker cable?

>>1091414
No, i've always used speaker cables for my stacks, never tried using instrument cables, ive been always afraid it would make the head blow up or something lol

It lacks bass because Crate amps are shit. You also overpaid. If you can read schematics and are familiar with how tone stacks work, you could tweak the value of the bass cap.

>>1091393
Is right.
A simple electronics tweak is unlikely to get you a bass boost. Not sure why you'd want this for a guitar anyway.

Just at a glance, the speakers for a bass guitar amplifier are 10" and those speakers look to be 4, 6-8" speakers. Speakers work by displacing air to create sound waves and diameter is related to the frequencies they can produce efficiently so it is likely that you will be limited by your speaker's ability to create the low frequencies efficiently rather than the electronics driving them.

I might be wrong, just my two cents. There may be a highpass filter somewhere you can short.

My mistake, after further inquiry those are 12" speakers, I retract my answer

I dont know much about Crate amps, its my first one, i once played live with a Blue Voodoo and sounded very good, so i assumed it would sound ok for the price, and it does sound ok, but as i said it lacks some bass :/

>>1091388
are you electronics savvey?

*boosting' bass is really about reducing loss of lower frequencies in the amp.
primarily enlarging coupling caps and changing the filter.(tone control)

I'd start with coupling caps.

i don't know this amp, so im assuming its solid state.
solid state amps are usually more complicated, thus harder to mod.

>>1091956
yep its solid state, also i have no idea about the components so im just asking :)

Back in the day, my guitarist had 2 full stacks of that very amp. We went into the studio and the engineer would not let us record with that amp. He made him use a Mesa triple rectifier. That crate is sold state, not tube, so it will always sound like shit. It will be loud but lack warmth and depth. Blue Voodoo is tube though.

Also, something like this can help
