Guitar Guitar tone

[Possessed Sinner]

Hi everyone and happy new year!
I recently just listened to metal music, didn't have my guitar near me and I have got a really big problem. I got used to professional guitar tone, so not much the high crispyness, which always triggered me and now I want to achieve these tones, because I want to record some demos and I hate my own tone. It is true that I am using free plugins, but also very cheap digital multieffect. If I will have time later today, I can post some demos of my tone.
Have a nice day everyone and see ya!

here is a short demo. Left is with eq, right is the same, but without (raw just with the plugin)

The only thing explicitly wrong with that tone is that you don't like it. You could hear that tone on any number of records, just maybe not an A7X record. If you're trying to get more A7X tone, try a different amp model in your plugin. Something similar to a 5150 or a Deizel or something. I'n not sure what you're using or what you have available, so it's hard to recommend anything beyond that.

Mids 9 / Treble 8 / Bass 6. Try using a Boss CS-3 compression pedal also.

Thank you! Do you think that the tone is useable for at least demo or there is too much noise?

You work with the tone you can get, because aiming for the tone you can't is only an excuse to not turn on the record light. I do think it's usable for demo purposes.

Thanks a lot @Ed Seith and @Ian _Invader
