I'm sure many a guitarist, myself included, has thought, at one time or another, that they had found the "holy grail" of tone, only to find that it sounded useless in a full band setting.
My question, for those of you who do this for a living, is what are the immediate dos and don'ts for a good metal tone. What settings should, generally, be avoided for instance, and what settings, again in general, work better for the guitar tone in a full band setting.
I know mids are vitally important for guitar tones, but which mid freqs are most important, low, mid, highs.
Thanks.
