Daniel13 The piece 72a sounds sludgy and more in the realm of doom metal. Sounds pretty gnarly [in a good way]. I would recommend playing with the EQ a bit, depending on what kind of a sound/feel you want the track to have. I would also EQ the Kick Drum to beef it up a bit. A little cleaning up using EQ can help clear the mix as you stop frequencies in the same range from interfering with each other.
Generally the guitars don't need to have too much low end and EQ-ing those out can help the low range instruments [Bass and Kick Drum] cut through. I could bore you with other details, but there are much better resources on EQ on the web and Youtube. YT is especially useful since you can actually do a "hands on lab" session by following along, which is much better than just reading 5 pages of text, IMO.
For the 1374bc piece, I agree with mbise1993 as in try to dial back the gain. If the pedal is not really working to meet your sound needs, I would highly recommend getting some free VST for your DAW and using those. Using that will give you a lot of flexibility in terms of sound. Again, EQ here would help clear the mix a bit.
Good luck and here's looking forward to your new mixes ! Here's a link for Free VSTs

mbise1993 you have a catchy piece / riff there !! Reminded me immediately of something the Kris Norris Projekt would do. Very nice ! It would do really well with Vox and a sick solo !! Looking forward to hearing the completed track !
