^^Have you tried everything? Putting a OD pedal like tubescreamer in the front of amp,Tweaking it all the way to fuckin antarctica? Shitting on it? A maxon OD-808 might help to get more tone out of it.
Naturally but fanboyness shouldn't be THAT big that you clone someones tone. Ofcourse i want alexis tone too but in a different way...I want to find my own sound too which is kinda like Alexi's sound. What i really love is his lead tones and crunchy Distortion...i hate if it gets too trebley tho. If it was me id add a bit more bass and take down treble to make it a bit more kicking.

So explain more how the sound is and what you want more of...EQ pedals can be useful too. MXR has some good ones i think.
If you dont like the distortion of a amplifier then dont use the amplifier. As easy as that.

Yes but all people just dont afford to throw a amp in a grabace can
Well Its good if you get your dist/cleans out of a Combo/head PURELY without dist pedals...a OD is acceptable tho.

well,now you have,we were leaving it to you.anyway,about the sound,create a cheap imitation of alexi's sound isn't easy,but if you want a cool sound(not alexi's,just a cool one) then set bass 8,middle 3,treble 7 and your gain between 6 and 10(that's how I have it in my Korg Tone Works,amp is a shitty 100W Carlsbro which I set bass 7,middle 3,treble 7,and guitar is an Ibanez RG trem).but notice that that's not alexi's sound and that a 15 wats cheap amp won't work as a good one(nor I'm saying mine is,I already stated that it's pretty crapy,)

Or just buy some Line6 spider shit or Roland cube and find a good DIST sound. I have a Line 6 spider III... I dont fckin love it actually , its just because i can't afford my self a Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier solo head or a fckin peavy 5150 with some good pedals... you know , to get a good sound , you first need a good guitar and a good amp or just get some transistor gay modder amp like the ones i said above....

Wow! That's why they have music stores. You try it out, find what suits you, and take it home.
Dude! And yes I said dude.

^^*sigh* You will not always BE ABLE to find YOUR SOUND directly from EQ channels on the head/combo or you dont afford the one that has. Thats what theres EQ/OD pedals for...jeez.
EDIT: DIstortion stompboxes are generally crap and should not be used until you have no other chance of getting better tone. The worst of them all is Boss MT-2

Thats because of the midshift on the Lee jackson.
Can't affort a Peavey 5150? Those things are the best and cheapest metal amps you can get these days.
IMO, EQ/OD pedals are meant to improve your sound, not the make your sound.
True, and true. There one big block of noise that kills your guitar sound.
