[br]A great deal of this depends on the guitar & amp. What guitar & amp are you using? How loud are you playing?

Some of what you are describing sounds like it could be handled by a loud amp with a good amount of pre-amp gain, but then just pushed a little harder by just a little bit of overdrive. Typically the more gain you add the more compressed the signal & the weaker the articulation. Sometimes if you stack gain pedals just using 25%-50% of gain from each is enough to get the right combination.

[quote=hunter.kane]I also want it to cut through a mix well.

A mix of what? What style of music are you playing & what instruments are in the mix?

Having said that, what usually cuts through a rock style mix of loud drums, bass & other guitars is mids. And mids are exactly what suffer the more gain you add.
