Not sure how else to descibe this question, but I'm a bit of a guitar newb. A lot of the stuff I try to play has the classic metal palm muted triplets and whatnot.

On the recordings it sounds really deep and chunky like it has some balls, when I try to do it, it sounds pretty anemic.

I'm sure a lot has to do with the equipment, but with my fender strat, boss metal zone pedal, and fairly loud amp, you'd think I could pull off a little better than how it sounds now.

So what do I need to fix? My palm muting technique? My equalizer settings? More distortion? Any tips?
