I just got my Peavey 5150 and a 4x12 Engl Standard Cab.
I played around a little but I'm not yet sure how to get a better distorted sound with it. (lead settings)

I'm aiming on any swedish melodic death style sound as good as I can.

fyi: I'm using no pedals yet and my guitar is downtuned to D.

Can anyone help me out?

Here's a picture of my configuration:
