I have found tinny and poor placement go together like peas in a pod. Dismal preamps also dont help. I would suggest messing around a lot with placement as has been mentioned. Id also suggest taking one of your condensers and putting that several feet off the grill in conjunction with your dynamics up close.

I would also strongly re-suggest recording with less distortion than sounds good at the time. A healthy dose of distortion usually records pretty poorly - whereas just a hint of it comes out as if it were heavy.

Good luck
