... because I don't think I'm good enough to get something recording worthy, since this is what I plan to do soon. I have come up with a tone that I like, but my friend who is a good sound engineer (and who initially suggested I buy KPA) claims that what I got sounds too digital when I play on high notes. He doesn't live near by and doesn't own a KPA so I can't have him tweak it. This is why I'm asking for your help here.
Now, one other thing that MAY be the actual problem, is the fact that where I live at the moment I have a lot of electromagnetic interference, and it really annoys me, but luckily I'll be moving soon away from here. I still want to be sure if its really me overdoing some settings, or if its really something else.
Here is the recording of the tone I made. It's just some power chords from lower to higher notes, to give you the idea..

And this is the actual Rig (it's called Californication because I took the cabinet of that rig )

Also, if anyone can come up with something similar, but better and RECORDING worthy, I would be willing to give away $50 for the trouble.
Some other info that may help: It is a custom guitar, bolt on alder with quilted maple top, 3 piece maple/mahogany/maple neck, 7 string, seymour duncan blackouts (both neck version) pickups.
This is the tone I was trying to get: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWNIx6ZPiFk&feature=related
The gear used on that concert was Mesa/Boogie Triaxis, 2:90 and Mesa cabinet, recorded with Shure SM57. Of course, I don't ask for this EXACT rig, but something that sounds similar.
So help me out guys, will ya ?
