How to cut through a metal band?

[RKB900player]

if you end up getting kicked out of that band, it was probably for the better (by the sounds of it). Everyone whos said to crank the mids, I completely agree. When I played in a metalcore/hardcore band, all I did was crank my low, high and parametric mid settings and sometimes my treble.

boost your mids way up. It may not sound great by itself but with a full band it will sound much better and cut threw.

Simply can't understand why a od/fuzz/dist pedal should make you cut through better. If anything, it should be drowning you even more in the mix.

Mids and low mids is where it's at..

You need mo' speakas for metal. Add a 15 or another 210.

Start there.

A 210 combo for heavy music is like bringing a knife to a gun fight.

any tips on what i can do to help the floppy strings?

Use the top 4 of a 5 string set. You need the heavier guage to keeo the strings from getting to spongy.
