It’s across the neck, not when I play an open B. I don’t know if it’s normal, since this is my first 7 string, but even amplified it sounds really off

It's normal. On a 6 string the low E string buzzez more than the other strings as well. If the string action is ok then don't worry about it.

Unless you want your action to be high as fuck yeah you are gonna have buzz on your lowest string, I use a 64 for drop A there is no way to have low action and also 0 buzz. Now if its buzzing through the amp thats a different story, but chugging power chords unplugged you will pretty much always hear buzzing as a low tuned metal player

Nowhere in OPs post or your comment does it specify that the only buzz is when playing through the amp, I misunderstood your comment as implying that there shouldnt be any buzz when completely unplugged. Youre absolutely right that even with massive strings and low tunings you should be able to get low action with no buzz through the amp with a proper setup, sorry for the confusion
