Rotosound introduces the new Darkzone Guitar strings, a high output nickel plated drop tuning set with heavy bottom E and A strings.
Drop tuning a guitar with standard gauge string is already problem, let alone if you use light gauge strings that are typical in a metal setting. The dropped E string will be too light and will go out of tune frequently. Worst case is that it will give you more of the dreaded buzz sounds.
Players that use dropped tuning will go around this problem by getting a heavy gauge set, but they will only use the low E and A string. Some would use the heavy gauge strings on all six, which will limit their soloing and would mean maintenance problems to their guitar intonation and setup.
Rotosound is aware of this dilemma and have created the new Darkzone Guitar strings, a drop tuning high output nickel plated set for the electric guitar. It gives metal players the best of both worlds; you get heavier gauge for your low strings and retain lighter gauge for the other strings.
The heavy bottom E and A string is well suited for metal and rock riffs, especially drop tuned. This set will give you the meaty bottom end you want while you are powering down those low power chords. Each power chord will be tighter with you worrying about string intonation. Since Darkzone Guitar Strings come with light gauge high strings, you can still play that blazing solo you practiced without having to adjust to thicker gauge.
This set will also work for blues and jazz guitar players that require a tighter feel and deeper sound on the bass strings. If you do solo guitar arrangements, you will benefit from the meatier and fatter bass.
Darkzone sets are available in 10-13-18-36-52-60 gauges; this set retains the distinctive British bright tone and responsiveness that is associated with Rotosound Strings.
