The key to getting the best results out of a C4 is all in the attack and release settings. It takes some practice getting the hang of what you want from them, but thats where the difference lays.
I am not a fan of the C4 on the mastering bus. I think it is one of those things that can sound good at first, and then you go back to it and say "why did I do that?".
If you are having troublegetting loudness, you need to try putting your mix in a channel and making a buss with a softclipper and a limiter on it. Turn up the channel fader to the top and send it to the bus channel. turn up the softclipper 1 or 2 db and set your limiter to take off 1 or 2 db max.
This way you have achieved a lot of loudness with almost no compression.

My tip would be to not do it.
Oh and as for the mix..I like the guitars a lot..I dont hear any bass on regular speakers though and the drums sound too compressed to me. The hi hats are too bright or squashed or something also. But the guitars are pretty much rocking.
google Gclip...it's free. Just boost the gain in it a little in your chain. It's an awesome free VST.
