Nino, try different mic positions first (thanks Bear), before you start touching eq's.

Post an example, we'll take a listen and make some suggestions.

Here's a good post for you to read in the meantime:

Edit> After all the other posts and suggestions we've given you (in which I don't remember Marshalls ever being brought up) why did you end up buying the 3k?

Don't do that.

Spending more money on cheap ass "tube" FX boxes isn't going to help.
