Can you post a sample of you playing so we can comment on it mate?

Things always sound worse when you play them back after being recorded. As Ivan says though try posting a recording.

hmm, the sample is a bit short mate, but I can say your tone is reasonably good (judging by a couple of notes I've heard..).
I suggest you try to record with slightly less distortion and EQ the take a bit. Sweep the EQ around 100-150Hz to find the sweet spot and raise it by +3dB. This should create a bit more softer preset. Try to do that, and please post a bit longer take, like 1-2 minutes playing. I can't really tell much from 5 seconds! -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

In my honest opinion, there isn't anything wrong with your sound in general, but I can give you some advises to make it better:
- When you record, record everything as clean and precise as you can - Keep the recording from your amp dry (like this example here) - Produce your sound later in the DAW Software (Reaper, Cubase etc) This last thing is very important. Your amp has limited possibilities for tweaking the sound, so further adjustments can be done in DAW. The main thing you need to know is what kind of tone your are looking for, and what is wrong with your current tone. I would say this example was a bit too dry, but I actually liked the sound. - When recording in DAW, make sure you have the loudest signal possible. Try to make it as loud as you can, but avoid clipping. This will allow the software to catch all the subtle nuances of the signal. - After recording, EQ the take in DAW at about 100-150 to give it a more low end. - You can add some nice compression as well to make it a bit smoother - Add some delay and reverb, but not too much. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE
