Need advice on my mixes

Mix is almost there. The screams are too bright, kick is too clicky, OH's could be a little louder and the master is a little too pumpy. Those are all the problems I find in this mix.
 
First of all, I want to thank you again for all your help, criticism and advice. It is a luxury!

Well, with this attempt I completed the mix of this song, it´s okay or bad, because I think it isn´t good to obsess. I have to go gradually learning, and I still have a lot of way to go (only took about 9 months taking me seriously this hobby). So, I ask your opinion for the last time:

This time I'll put the mastered and unmastered versions, because I think the problem may be there too, because I have no idea of mastering. My chain is:

- Satson Buss
- Compressor (SSL)
- JS Exciter
- Limiter

The guitars still sound harsh, but I do not know what else I can do. I modified LP, I changed the IR's, I followed the advice of neptunian and blue_fAng ... I think the Master Out also still pumpy but I don´t sure. I think I need my ears repose. This is the result:




You know very well that Soundcloud´s sound quality is not very good , or at least let me use it as an excuse, lol.

Cheers people, thank you very much! This is all!

You took away the BBE and added an exciter?

Mix sounds pretty good here on monitors.

Yes. I removed the bbe on bus guitars, and I added the exciter in master out, but very subtly (is my first serious master, before always using Ozone, t-rack, etc with presets.).

Thank you very much, my friend, I'm so happy that you like, mean a lot.

Cheers!
 
Guitars don't sound harsh anymore on the pre-mastered version. I think it's good. Sounds good overall on the master, maybe a touch bit harsh from the exciter perhaps, but that's a matter of taste.
 
I will never tire to give thank you for your help and advice. It's a privilege to know wich way I should follow due to you have spent your time listening my stuff and constructively criticizing it. You peope are awesome!

P.S.: I have done another mix based in this last one but removing the exciter and yes, I think sounds better. ;)
