fatten up a metal guitar

Does anyone any EQ settings to fatten up a metal guitar sound? I'm looking for that really meaty palm-muted Messugah style sound. I realise that its mostly down to the guitar and amp.

I'm using the simulanalog guitar plugins and to me they sound pretty good. I use the Tube Screamer in front of JCM900. I turn the mids up and not scoop them and it's quite a decent fat tone.

Any ideas of how to fix the black hole guitar?

My friend and I are mixing a project right now and we're running into what we're referring to as the "black hole guitar."

Specifically, we can get the drums/bass/vocals mixed together and sounding fantastic, but as soon as we add the guitar and it gets to the right volume level in the mix it's eating everything else!
