What the hell is wrong with my tone?

[xT00BZRG00Dx]

I'm using an Ibanez RG2EX1 with installed EMG 81 and 85 pickups with a Boogie Mark III (Red-Stripe, 100-watt head with half-power switch) going through a Randall R412XLT (Randall 4x12 with V30's). My tone is pretty bad. It's harsh and loose and way too bright when I want a VERY tight and dark metal rhythm tone. I have no idea what the hell is wrong. Either this amp is WAY overrrated or I am doing something wrong. My volume is around 2 on Master and 1.5-2 on Lead Master. Is the lack or crankage my problem??? The tubes are around 2 years old. Do I need a retube? My settings are as followed:
Presence: 0
Treble: 7 (pulled)
Bass: 2
Middle: 4
Volume: 7 (pulled)
Lead Drive: 7 (pulled)
Master: 2 (pulled)
Lead Master: 1.5 (pulled)
GEQ:
80: Full
240: 75%
750: 50%
2200: 60%
6600: 75%


What am I doing wrong? My tone sucks

First thing I'd do is pull right back on that treble settings and push it in. That is really bright.

Yes push the treble in.
I've had better luck with keeping the eq settings all at 50% and cut the mids down from there in a V to taste.
Are your tubes new or old and what type?
