Increasing string gague by 1 or 2 levels has given many of my clients a significantly thicker/more articulate tone (if you are an unbeliever in this effect, please do not respond.
The physics side seems pretty simple... Increased gague increases mass, which means you have to hit the strings harder... This increases the signal and provides a broader dynamic range, which can provide a wider range of tones driving the amp. There's more physical resistance, so you have more
variation for tremelo, etc.
However, I don't know anything about the electrical side. I'm assuming increased voltage drives the amp harder? What about induction and dca... Is there measurable change?
As always, thanks for any and all input.
