Loving my current rig at the moment. Trace smx 80s head into ampeg 6x10 hlf. Either a g&l l2500 or a sire v7 with a bunch of pedals (rusty box being essential)

I've been playing in a one guitar originals metal band for a bit now and for me what works best is;

1: spend time with the guitarist tweaking your tone so they work well together (ie scoop where he pushes and push where he scoops eq wise) - its good having your own tone but compromise and work together will make everything sound a lot better
2: different distortions. I run a rusty box normally but when the guitar solo comes up I switch on the hm2 to give a fatter more rhythm guitar sound
3: bass chords and an octave pedal can be your best friend
4: don't always over play. Sometimes simples needed
5: harmonise. When simple isn't needed use it as a chance to kick ass! Harmonise a complicated run or during simple rhythm add a good run or two

Hope this helps

Is this still in hold?
