judging by the bands you listed and the mention of mid range 'nastyness' I assume you're referring to the Linkin Park-esque, really produced sounding wall of guitars,
kinda like a tuned vacuum cleaner.
layering and mixing skills are key here, no one profile will give you that big radio sound instantly.
edit:
the Lasse Lammert Rig Pack has a few nice rigs for that purpose (Grail, Schmatz, Nineties Finest...) but they all raw amp sounds (as it should be)
getting them to work together and compliment each other (and the bass and vox) takes a bit of experience and/or a lot of trial and error.
Well, yes and no.
Aiming at a wall of sound, is a good way of describing it. Blending different profiles, filtering, EQ is how I usually achieve this. Let me assure you (without any pretention) I know how to do this. Like I said before, I know how much work it takes to get there and I'm not after some claimed ''mix ready'' profile.
As for the tune vacuum cleaner, I'm not too sure what you mean by that... yeah they sound thin if you listen in solo... Now, how big or thin you make your rhythms gtrs is really mix dependent.
Let me be more specific, most profiles I've been testing so far (except the Tills ones) we're not profile to be used in the manner I want (Crunchy rhythms,mid/fast playing, heavy picking powerchords). It's all about mic placement here obviously. The 2K/4K zone is way off (Over barring harshness, resonances) for the sound I'm after. Of course I'm going to EQ the mids, still it's so far away from the hi mids i'm after that when I threat that region enough to be in the ball game, I just kill the tone doing so... now they sound lifeless.
It's not easy, brain bugling.... the never ending battle of getting your gtrs tone rocking, but still under control in a dense mix situation.
