"Flabby" makes me think string gauge. I use a 10-46 6 string set & add a .064 7th (Ernie Ball).

Bullshit. I use a clean boost to tighten things up. It sends a hotter signal into the preamp, forcing more clipping/gain. Low gain is generally "looser" in feel to a real tight, hot signal. Re - Active pickups.
...I can't get any definition from the bottom string with anything approaching a metal amount of drive/distortion. ...
I'd post a link to my entirely-too-long writeup but apparently I have to be careful or I'll offend people who don't like reading.
If it has true bypass it won't kill everything. If it doesn't you're out of luck. I don't know if it actually has true bypass, and I wouldn't trust any website that stands to make money off your purchase with finding out, so check with someone who has one.
Don't bother with the expensive Tube Screamers, the TS7 is $40 and is the proper TS9 circuit - and you can make it a TS808 by changing two resistors. I'd post a link to my entirely-too-long writeup but apparently I have to be careful or I'll offend people who don't like reading.

upping the .59 low B to a .72 string definitely helped matters some
