Mixing Low Sustain electric Guitar's

[Mashreef]

i was working in a track and i found out that the guitar's pickup are very weak
the distortion is not in coming in full attack....
What could i add in the guitar chain to make it sound better??

my chain
Gate>X50>Eq>Reverb(little)<compressor<Limiter

Could be your gate settings could be your compressor settings or your limiter settings, electric guitar is already pretty compressed. Either that or you got a bad guitar, set up or build.

If you have a dir track just put a limiter on that and lower the threshold to taste and then reamp.

I just noticed you have the x50 in the chain. Just put the limiter before that and you should be good.
