Thanks for the tips! I play with backing tracks a lot and what you said about sounding muddy with other instruments makes so much sense. I mostly like using clean tones with compression and reverb that arent too bright/twangy but also still able to be piercing, if that makes sense. Usually using neck single coil, humbucker bridge, or neck + middle in series. I also like playing with high gain tones but a big problem I've been having is that with high gain my pick attack is just obnoxiously chirpy, no matter how hard I pick. Thought it was a technique thing but I can't seem to make it go away no matter how lightly I pick, then I thought the pickups might be too high but I've had the same problem with 4 different guitars, so I'm flummoxed
