After hours of tweaking here I am. I bought a switchblade 50w tsc combo and I directly tried to dial a death metal rythm tone in (even though most of people say on the internet that it's not the right amp for it). Surprinsingly it turned out very well, I got that massive sound that I wanted, even though on single note stuff it's a bit loose on the low end.
Now I'm trying to get a decent solo tone. Impossible to get rid of this too trebly, "sharp" feeling. I don't really know how to say it but when I play a lead it just hurts my ears. I put new strings and a new battery (I have an agile interceptor pro 725 with active EMGs) but it changed nothing.
So does anyone have lead tone settings for me ? I'm searching for a solo tone ala Petrucci (haha let me dream), you know the kind of tone that does not get hyper distorded when you play two notes together but which can sing. I saw the video with Stephan Forte demoing the switchblade so I'm pretty sur it's possible to get a good lead tone (well it was the 100w head and his guitar his way different than mine...).
