You could add a switch which adds a higher capacitance in parallel with C3. Label its off position "low cut". The low value of C3 is what is rolling off bass response. Elsewhere, note how 10X bigger 22 nF couplers are used.
It is usual for guitar amps to roll off bass. Fairly aggressive bass roll off is needed, in particular, to achieve "chunky" distortion ...

There is no one single cause for this type of problem. But if you have eliminated mechanical factors such as floating bridge instability, loose truss rod, or microphonics from metal parts coupling into the pickups magnetically, you should take a look at your electronics. Actually that should be the first thing, perhaps.
I have cured this problem in the past ...

The basic characteristics like bright or mellow are attributable to the envelope of the frequency response. You can easily verify this by experimenting with an equalizer.
Equalization can fatten sounds or make them more brittle.
Note that equalization occurs between distortion stages as well as before and after.
One thing that you cannot do with an ...

Here is my feeble attempt at combining the individual instruments Register tone quality into one chart.
Note: Samuel Adler's Orchestration book did not have any of this for the Strings but that is not what I was looking for so I am satisfied. Also, I had a hard time getting everything in the image, so some instruments are placed rather randomly...

Normally questions concerning material solicitation are shut down, but I think in this case, since it applies to orchestration, which is musical practice related to composition pedagogy, it is pertinent to this forum.
First, there are two great texts concerning orchestration: Alfred Blatter's "Orchestration" and Samuel Adler's "The Study of Orchestration." ...
