I wouldnt use a sansamp, that just sounds like a really bad idea. Also Ive noticed many guitar players... especially the ones playing that kind of music... more or less dont understand how to use an amp or what a guitar should even sound like.. i hate to be rude sorry.. have them turn the pre amp gain down and crank the master up so its really loud and dont scoop the mids, because... the guitar is an instrument which lines in the midrange why would anyone want to turn that down?? play it for them and if you can try to play it for them in the context of the rest of the music. I have a thing with guitar tone and I am always a stick in the mud about it, but the bands i record are always happy once everything is done and mixed and most the time they start setting up their amps the way we recorded them.
