My Sound
The idea is to have a clean super compressed sound with the right lows and highs, and blend it with an equally compressed heavily distorted sound with the lows and some of the "dangerous" hi's and mid hi's cut (you do not want problems with too much fret sounds or too much of the "hard" mid qualities that makes it difficult to shape notes properly), and the right mids hjda.
  
 
The sound I'm looking for is raw and soft at the same time, with just as much sustain as a guitar player needs. The notes should come out even across the fretboard, pretty much like bricks in a brick factory. And they should be "visible" through the din of distorted guitars and powerful rock drums. The distortion, sustain/compression, and the notes I try to find all need to work together to accomplish this.
