AAaargghhh! That's the classic 'bedroom guitarist' setup! :eek:

People mistake the overall mix of a track on a disk for the hot amp setting - not so! Too much bass muddies your sound, and also steps all over the bass lines. Too much treble especially with a lot of distortion, just sounds harsh and tinny.

The guitar does it's best stuff in the midrange. Roll off the bass to about 3/10. Cut the high end enough to reduce the harshness, but not so much that it doesn't cut. Say, 5 or 6 of 10. Run the mids up strong. Try 7/10 and move up or down from there.
