Which amplifier suits best?

[Whitestrat]

The tone now sounds like a low treble/middle range response, even if the eq is tweaked to the max, the bass is dull, even though the sustain is there. i would really like an amp which allows the kkw to shine through. I don't know why it sounds like that on the mg, the sound i might wanna get could be crunchy yet not to the extend of an insane full gain metal sound. I also have a samick gb sig, it sounds better on the mg though, leading me to think that the kkw has some pickup problem.

You need to remember that the kkw is basswood, and A LOT of it... Basswood doesn't give you that bright snap to a tone. If the Samick sounds better on the MG than the kkw, then I'd say it's the kkw and not the amp.

The main way to get a lower freq response, is with a bigger amp. Or rather, a bigger box. it's not a wattage issue. This is mainly why the Laney VC15 and the LC15R are so different. The LC15R is compact, and sounds boxed in. The VC15 is big and boomy. But both have the same wattage and use the same tubes.

Oh, and no offense, but the kkw is from a BC Rich starter pack right?

oh, so that's the reason, sorry man, i'm noob at all this amp and wood things. Nope, the kkw is the mid-level one made in china. with the stock pickups and kahler hybrid tremolo system. this guitar is sure hella problem though..

You should try more guitars with the amp to see if there's any guitar that can give you the tone you want WITH the MG. If there isn't then you change your amp. Go to Davis and just keep trying the guitars WITH THE SAME AMP. If you can't find a good combo, then you know for sure it's your amp and not the guitar. If you can find a good combo, then it's the guitar and not the amp.

That's your solution...:mrgreen:
