Along with everything else that has been suggested, on occasion you may find that using a MultiBand Compressor block can help if you tweak the low band correctly which is something I picked up from an old thread on here. That way you can retain some girth in normal playing but prevent excessive 'whump' when palm-muting.
Don't cut with EQ. When you're not palm muting, you might lose some low end if you do.
Use a multiband comp, only activate the low mid band and set the threshold so it only kicks in when palm muting.
How would you guys set up your multiband comps? Could you give us an example with a screenshot? I would really appreciate that!
