Maybe a stupid question, but, when playing higher notes (G string and up) and letting them ring out, if I try to then move to my E string, for instance, the notes have no power/bass and sound dead. After the higher note dies, the life comes back into my low string.
The best way to describe the sound is that it feels like the speaker is fighting for frequencies and the low end just evaporates while that higher note is being sustained. Essentially, if I play a little palm-muted chug on the open low E, it sounds like a floppy clean guitar, being played through a cheap practice amp.
Only lasts about a second but if I play a harmonic, it lasts maybe 2-3 seconds.
Is this due to playing through studio monitors as opposed to a guitar cab? I've used several of the major amp sims and it seems to happen on every one.
