I had the exact same problem last year in my band, my brother who playes EEb was yelling at me to try to get me to get a bigger sound on my pedals when i was playing. It wasnt as if i couldnt pitch them because i can go down to a peddal G-flat.
So i decided to ask my mentor how he did it (he ran off the both ranges of the instrument when he was 17 so i thought he would be able to help) He told me to do loads of long note practise and to do a couple of sit ups a night. about a week later my sound had doubled on the pedal notes and i wasnt getting as tirred as i was before.
p.s. if you swim try doing lengths under water. because from experiance it seems to be endurce problems mean we cant get the big sound. hope it goes well
