Can someone help with my guitar tone? I think my guitars sound like crap. Thanks.

Should probably consider reamping right from the start! Use the TSE x30 (This is a really awesome plugin) And then play around with some new impulses. It sounds like the ampsim you're using isn't very good

Haha that's the problem. It's not an ampsim. If it was, it would sound a lot better. I'm terrible at micing up real amps, so I'm trying to get some practice in.
I checked out the TSE x30. It looks pretty cool, and I've heard a lot of you guys talk about it. But I'm running Pro Tools, so I can't use it. I need to invest in the VST wrapper for PT.

Tell us about your micing setup (mic, cab, position, distance from cab), where you recorded it (description of the room), and the gear used and how it was EQed.
It's a Mark IV running through a Mesa 4x12 cab. I'm trying the Fredman technique, with a SM57 straight on axis, and an e609 off axis. Both centered at the dust cap, 1" away from the grill.The amp is in a basement, facing a wall covered in curtains. Low Pass at about 13k, high pass at about 90Hz. Cut with wide Q at 160Hz, small boosts at 400Hz and 1.5k.

You should really start with only one mic. Make that sound great. It can be pretty difficult getting two mics in phase.

for micing an amp in the basement it doesn't sound terrible. i would raise the hi pass a tad more. and try moving the cut at 160 to like 200-240. try adding more soundproofing if you can too. if your recording in a basement i doubt you want that room in there.
