Skillet: Guitar help!!!?

I have a very good epiphone les paul that cost me $900 bucks with pro alnico II pickups, a RP90 pedal, a boosta grande pedal, and a fender frontman 25 amp. I need to know what setting for the amp AND the pedal would be good together to play Skillet songs...Im a big fan of what they sound like live. What confuses me the most is the middle setting....if its too low it sounds weird and if its too high it sounds weird!!!!And its very hard for me to get my pedal EQ and my amp EQ to go together, since both of them have treble, middle, and bass settings that are able to change. Please help!!! I dont like sounds that sound too Trebly with hardly any bass...its sounds like crap. So give me the settings i need to set my amp for, and what setting i need to set my pedal for. Treble, bass, and middle settings, please.
Best answer 10 points!!! I will award best answer after trying out the settings!!!

If you want their exact sound you need the same amps, the same guitar, the same pedals (if they use some) and the same pick. But you should use some sub and put your treble to about 8 and your bass to about 4 or 5 and your mid to about 5. Try the same settings on your pedal and get all the sounds the same volume level. For example, make your pedal the same volume as the amp when the amp is clean.

Can you sound like Dan Donegan using the metal hardwire pedal by digitech?

I also have an RP90 and the Boosta Grande by BBE, which has the digitech grunge pedal built into it, as well as the digitech death metal pedal!! Can I use all this to get a sound like dan's?(Hhaha lol and a fender frontman 65 watt amp!!)
Um...if possible give me the best setting for the pedal and amp like 6bass, 7middle, and 6treble and for the pedal 5bass, 8middle, and 7 treble. ok lol!
Number one, im not that young. Number two, I write my own songs and we have regular gigs ever month. I want to know how to get a similar sound to Dan to play Inside the Fire and Indestructable and Stricken live as a few bonus songs. So I am half artist/half coverband, I guess you could say!

oh for pete sake, all these young players wanting to sound

"just like ________"

Here's a great idea, instead of sounding like ________, create your own sound by learning to master the guitar that you have. Create music that is good for you and about you and sounds like you.

Then you can be an "artist" instead of a clone.

Guitar effects question. which is better for lead boost - a compressor or an actual booster?

I need something I can step on for leads and then turn off and have it nto color the sound when I'm playing rhythm.

I'm looking at either a DynaComp or a BBE Boosta Grande. \

Or should I look at something else?

Compression and "boost" are two different things, although they are easy to confuse. Compressors change the dynamic range of a signal by compressing the signal. If the signal has a normal dynamic range of 60 dB, the compressor can be set to a ratio of 2:1 which will lower the dynamic range to 30 dB. Compressors do not necessarily lower the overall output. Depending on what compressor you use and how you adjust it, it can actually increase the volume of your signal. That''s why some people confuse the two devices and their functions.

A boost, does exactly as it's name implies; it boosts the signal. The idea behind most boosting devices is to simply turn your sound up for solos. With very few exceptions, most boost devices are cheap and noisy. Thats one reason professionals prefer to use the volume controls on their guitars to turn up for solos. Unless you have a complicated set-up for a particular tone that is just perfect, try playing the old-fashioned way, use your volume control. You might like it!

If you are concerned about changing your tone, a good tone control and the right ohmage volume pot will help. Instead of the 250k pot your probably have, try the 500k or 1 meg ohm linear pots. They are what a lot of pros prefer.

If you have your heart set on using a pedal, either of those mentioned will work. The BBE uses a different method of boosting the signal and it emphasizes certain frequencies and phase relationships. Some people believe this helps them "cut" through a mix better. The Dyna Comp won't do that. In fact, it may have just the opposite of your desired effect. Compressors have a tendency to make instruments "sit" in the mix. That might be great if you want to mix a record. It might not be your cup of tea if you want to devastate and rule.

Suggestion; try the pedals out in a noisy store. Crank 'em up. If you can't do that, buy both of them from Musicians Friend. ( Bigger orders mean free shipping) Then either return or sell the pedal you don't like.
Have Fun!
