I'd vote for setting everything flat to start with. That ought to sound pretty darn good, actually. Then tweak a bit to taste, *if* needed. One problem that seems to come up a lot is trying to use too much effects, too much EQ, compression, reverb, etc. It's like a meal - yes, there's salt on the table, but you shouldn't have to dump the entire shaker out on your plate to have the food taste good.

To my ears it sounds mint when I'm playing.

I believe Fran comented on this - our ears tend to both hear things differently than the mic and are also more forgiving. We have the ability to tune stuff out, and discount the room sound. Trying playing/recording in the bathroom sometime - you'll think it sounds great in person, the recording will be awful.
