Modern Tone Tips?

Been trying to record some one man band prog stuff and even though I'm happy with the material, when I show people the finished product they always say I sound like I belong in the mid 2000s. Don't get me wrong I love that era but my goal is definitely for something more modern. I've moved away from the typical 5-7-8 riffing style for a while now so I don't think it's the material itself. I know it's hard to answer this without hearing it but I'm thinking maybe someone might say the right thing that nudges me in the right direction. I'm definitely using too much gain on the amp but I can't find a tone I like with less. I'm not scooping the mids either I like the clarity it brings from boosting them. Anyone got any ideas? There's gotta be something so obvious that I haven't checked yet.
