How could I improve this mix?

Here's the song, kind of a melancholoc prog song:

I'll probably re-record the song with real drums next autumn too.

The rhythm guitars are too fizzy, and could use more lows.

Yeah i thought too that guitars were too fizzy, but I already lopassed at 12k and did various cut in hi mid range...I'll try to lo pass lower or reduce treble/presence in gearbox...Damn I really want a real amp.

I updated the mix: http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/317666/Mixfinal-3.mp3

I thought the lopass filter on guitars was at 12k but it was at 13k, so I moved it at 12k, and I removed a bit more of 4k. I also removed some high end in the OH, and I removed -1b at 6k on the kick.

Better, but I still think the guits could use more lows.

Agree about the guitars needing more lows, and possibly less high end(like 5-10k). Like the song though, it has a nice texture with all those ambient sounds going on.

Thanks for the comments! Another update, I changed the whole guitar sound, i tried Soloc instead of gearbox, with the englv30 impulse. I changed a couple of other things too , but nothing major:
