Looking for a few tones...

I have been trying to get a few tones for a few of the bands I enjoy playing with. I have an HD 500, I am getting close to finding the tone but something is still off. I am looking for tones for Thousand Foot Krutch (mostly their new album) and Bluetree (if anyone has ever even heard of them!) Does anyone have any information as to what they use for effects? Or even a tone file thats reasonably close!
Also do any of you experiance any tone differences between running off the headphones to connecting to a sound board? I find that the sound has a much more full tone in the headphones as compared to running directly into a sound system?
Hey musicmaster69, I dont have any tones personally to give you for those two bands specifically, but i'll try to help out the best that i can. I use a POD XT Live myself, and looking around here on customtone i've hard a hard time finding tones for bands such as Thousand Foot Krutch, Skillet, and Worth Dying For. Even typing in "Thousand Foot Krutch Guitar Tone" into google does little to no good. But here's what information i've been able to gather:
Well there ya go, i hope this helps a little bit. And if not, then at least i tried haha. As far as Bluetree, i've only heard one song from them that i know of. My church likes to sing "God of This City" every once in a while. But i would have no idea what gear they use. And as for tone differences between headphones and the sound board: YES. It's really weird, but when i plug my POD into the computer and download patches i get the same sort of difference in sound. High gain distortion patches that i hear through the headphones might sound really muddy and/or fuzzy, but once i download it and play it through an amp or soundboard it sounds fine. So my general rule of thumb when downloading patches is that i try to compensate for loss of gain. Ex: If a distorted patch sounds a little to loud and crunchy, but not over the top, it'll sound just right live. If the patch sounds like it has just the right amount of distortion through the headphones, then it might not have enough distortion once i play it out loud.
Stay in the mix and in the know.
