I'm by no means a tone expert, but mess with the equalization a bit. You don't want the mids scooped (low mids, high bass and treble), but its probably gonna be somewhere close to that. Mess with it until you get a distinct "crunch" instead of a muddy distortion with no bite to it. You also may want to mess with the gain or drive a bit to get the distortion really tight.
Somebody else could give you better advice I'm sure, but thats where I would start.
Let your soul shine. Its better than sunshine. Its better than moonshine. Damn sure better than rain.
