General consensus for eqing metal guitars as far as I know:
- High pass between 70-130Hz (alter according to taste, my preference is 120Hz)
- What Jgbrenn said, 400Hz is lethal to a metal tone, but it's all subjective with how much of it to remove
- Sharp parametric (Q = 5 or 6, -5dB) at 700Hz gets rid of an unnecessary mid-frequency that can muffle up the tone
- For a nice focused djenty-type sound, play around 1.3Khz (Q = roughly 4ish, +3dB) to bring out that subtle but cutting low end snarl
- A nice compressor stompbox can do wonders for your tone, to level out the quieter parts, improve sustain and save your tone from needing loads of distortion
