I'd say you have too much bass dialed in on the EQ. I have a 7-string also and when I plug it in, I have to lower my bass and tweak the low mids on my EQ pedal to get the mud out.....

well lets see heres a way. take ur eq settings and set the all to 0, then add as much bass treble and mids that u want. and what is ur tone knob on ur amp set on? turn that fully on and mayb turn the gain on? anyways i got a queston for u how do u make ur electric sound almost like an acoustic? im having trouble getting a good sound on my clean channel for my amp

On my clean channel I turn my gain down to 3, I have my mid at 5, treble at 7, and bass at 5.

On my guitar I use the neck pickup, I ease off on the volume a bit, and on my guitar (this is pretty cool) both of my volume switches have a push/pull activated tone system that switches from a single coil tone to a full humbucker sound, so I pull the neck pickup volume knob up to activate the single coil.

I'm giving a +1 to gibby for a short and sweet approach and answer. What I wanted to say, but didn't. But it's not gonna save ya from the shortbus jokes from time to time.

+1 my it sounds a whole lot better the only bad part is that i have turn the volume up to hear it and when i have to turn the post-gain setting on my distortion channel down becuz if i dont ill bust a window
