Acoustic sounds alright but the lead sounds horrible.....mic an amp....

I'll second that, but assume that you perhaps are not concerned with the sound of the lead right now.
I would however think you could get more character out of the acoustic than that. What are you mic'ing it with?

just my sm57, straight into my onboard sound, i think i'm lucky i got the sound out of it that i have lol

I'm miffed because I thought the lead sounded killer through my cheap ass headphones. It did sound a little PODish...

 

[cobhc]

I thought it sounded ok, but a little harsh. But like i said i'm really pleased with the acoustic to say i'm using really cheap ass gear.

Then I would say you're doing something right then. It's better than I would have expected a 57 and no pre to ever do!

 

[cobhc]

lol thanks man that means a lot to me

 

[cobhc]

Anyone got any patches that could get a better tone for the solo, keeping in mind my friend hasn't got the model packs on his podxt?

 

[cobhc]

Ok, so i eq'd the lead to fuck, cos it sounded like a buzzing bee lol, and eq'd the acoustic to give it more presence and character, what do you guys think now?

You acoustic is pretty damn good for you setup.......few things though.....every time there is a dun dun on the drums there is a clip at the end of the second dun.....as far as your lead goes...you did manage to get rid of some of the buzz but the lead still sounds really bad....it needs to be much more in your face....as of now it does not sit well in the mix.....also the last few hits of the drums sound bad....keep at it...
