Hey guys!

Got some everlasting issues with my guitar tone over here...
It's always sounding super dull and muddy, completely regardless, which amp or guitar I'm playing, or in which environment I'm playing. I'm really stuck and have no ideas where my problems come from (maybe it's me???)
The goal is to get a good home sound, with IR's through my monitors and a good sound for my band practise with the same equip. I'm looking for a tight rhythm sound, from guys like Wes Hauch, Dave Davidson, etc...

Guitars:

Got two 7-Strings, both Mayones Duvell,
First one is with a Bareknuckle Aftermath in the Bridge, completely new strings (Elixir 10-59), that's the one, where the sound examples come from
Second one with Elixir 10-64 and a Jupiter 7 in the bridge.

Amps:

Synergy Syn-50 with the Pittbull and the Soldano Module
Kemper Profile Stage


Pedals:

Maxon Screamer, Boss GE-7, ISP Decimatior, all in front of the amp

Signal Chain:

Guitar --> GE-7 --> Maxon OD --> ISP-Decimator --> Synergy --> Steinberg Ur22 kII into Reaper --> Ignite NadIR with Christian Kohle IR's (modern bright standard) --> my Monitors are Yamahah


Here is a short Sound example:


First it's the Pittbull
Second the Soldano (which sounds the best imo)
Third is the Kemper with Wes Hauch Profile (PRS Archon Bright) which sounds totally amazing in the youtube videos, and like total bull**** when I play it

Maybe someone could help me finding a direction, where to start troubleshooting?

It's usually easy to isolate which strings and frets are buzzing. Generally speaking, if the buzz seems to be only at the 1st fret, that usually means the nut is too low, or the grooves in the nut have worn down too low. If the buzz is concentrated in the middle frets, 3rd to 9th, the truss rod may require adjustment.

Hey,I too am dealing with this exact problamo right now. I am trying out the true tone input jack for all of the mentioned reasons. I was told it was because I am sitting too close to my stack, but I have a volume pedal? Just want you to know there is someone out here experiencing the same thing. You see, I want a good tone (in home, practice ) but all the suggestion are geared towards recording and with monitor speakers. I am running a full stack and a 120 w. amp head, plus mod and effects. It's a whole new conundrum. Anyway, stay strong, you will find it, and if you do, give me a shout out.
