The Aftermath

Hey all! Apologies if this is in the wrong forum. I thought about putting this in the recording part, but this is less: "Showing off" and more "Need advice" so I thought it was more appropriate here.
I'm getting pretty damn close to what I want out of my AFX. As a bit of a muck around, I recorded this:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/7wafavcpac82usd/Dutch.mp3?dl=0
There's very little processing on the guitars. They're double-tracked but aside from a HPF and LPF, there's basically no fuckery to the sound. It's AFX -> Interface -> Your speakers.
I can already tell from listening to it that one of my guitars needs a bit more presence\treble. That I can fix, but the main problem I have with the tone is that it's not quite tight enough for my likings. In the 12 bar progression where it gets a bit chuggy in the last half in particular is where it stands out. It wasn't really a problem with this particular piece of music, but I occasionally do Drop C, Gojira-Esque stuff where it's going to be a fair bit tighter than what I have so far.
So what things should I mess with on the AFX to tighten things up? I was thinking of reducing the sag or the dynamic presence...
DISCLAIMER: I know I sound like I'm having a big whinge here, but I do genuinely like that tone and am pretty freakin' happy with it! I'm asking because I don't want to go randomly fishing and completely mess up what I have...
