How to get a good VST metal tone?

[ChemicalFire]

I've been trying to get a good tone with VSTS, but I can't seem to get it to sound any good at all...

What are the best VSTS to use and what effects chain can make them sound totally awesome. I'm going for a modern groove metal style tone.

I'll upload the best I can get here: http://www.mediafire.com/?6dndycynfsnplpe

I would upload to Soundcloud but I don't like how muddy it makes everything.

Which Vst are you using?

I'm using Soft Tubes Metal Amp room in that clip.

I'd bring guitars up in the mix, take cymbals down on the drums.

Looking into Revalver MKIII and Overloud TH1/2 - both great for metal.

Fiddle around with EQ. Take out everything below 80hz and maybe slight boost around 3/5khz.

check out www.guitarampmodeling.com for presets and impulses, tweak them to suit what you need.

I've used Metal Amp Room and I wasn't keen.

I've done a little mucking about, and found something i'm much happier with. Think I'm gonna have to use a different sound for the breakdown like part and the open power chords though.
