distortion problem

[dreamcatcher]

i have a ibanez RG3120TW Prestige (TZ and Paf Pro) and i have problems when using distorted sounds. lead especialy. what i hear is a instability of notes (not specific one).
this leads to lack of sustain and unconfortable general playing. i'll post some samples to hear what i'm talking about.

> my pickups aren't too close to the strings
> the strings are new
> i use a good cable (monster rock)
> now i use a digitech gsp1101
> the problem was the same with podxt, bossgt8, tc electronic konnect24D & guitar rig etc.
> i tested in another room, another wall socket and is the same..
> i tested with a ups (battery)
> i locked the trem with a piece of wood but no changes

it doesn't let me to post .mp3 files.

Do you mean the notes are fluttering a bit, as if there's a fan between you and the sound? If so, then it's as simple as tuning. Sometimes the strings are on a specific tension where they make that flutterign sound (usually when they're on the very edge of being in tune)

the tuner indicate there is correct pitch!

could be fret issue, are your notes crappy even when playing the guitar without an amp? Is there a lot of buzz?

My mention of the fluttering notes is just an idea, but it might be it. When I said on the very edge of being in tune, I meant the VERY edge. In other words it will turn up on the tuner as perfect because it it literally a microscopic turn of the tuning key from being in tune.

Could be the intonation. If it is happening especially on leads.
