Hi Yohaun
First of all Marshall`s ain`t what ther cracked up to be.But to solve this problem iI would go back to basics,Guitar and amp nothing else.See what you can get out of amp and guitar make sure your using a guitar cord not speaker cable this has burned me before.I would take a hard look at pickups were you want death metal put a bad ass pickup in that puppy.
Now to solve the d.o.d. problem a sutable trash can will do no insult intended this is serious stuff to us guitar players.I would recomend a all tube preamp
i don`t now every company that makes them but Dan at lustone.com makes one that kicks ass this will take away some crapy sounds being made by solid state preamps.I find that most effects hurt the mids so i just plug my guitar into my boogie and wind her up.But i`m not after metal crunch .Don`t get sucked into boogie/marshall preamps they may claim to be tube but they lie just a littel.Give dan a call .
