I've been on both ends of this conversation but only realised how important it is to be able to give feedback AND take it on the chin when I started playing with pros. A real eye-opener, but you don't half improve fast.
Usually I can tell if somebody is going to be able to cope with constructive criticism or not once I know them. If they can't then I'll find it difficult to be involved if there's something that bugs me, and would only carry on if I was really really keen.
And him, if necessary.
No point being squeamish.
He listened to his and - to my horror - declared "I thought it was pretty good !". He was frequently playing a semitone flat.
He got the push shortly afterwards.

Other one was a guitarist I didn't feel I could say anything to, so I just continued to play with the least bass and gain I could get away with. Another guitarist who came to see us told me you could barely hear the other guitar out front because my tone cut through so much more. Not gonna lie, part of me didn't mind that.
alternatively, turn up your gain and bass
learning to drive a mixing desk is a double edged sword- a lot of responsibility will end up yours by default- but it means you can say and do something about sound issues instead of gritting your teeth

Been uploading old tracks I recorded ages ago and hopefully some new noodles here.
FWIW I agree with you that too much bass and gain is a recipe for disappearing in the mix, especially in a multi guitar band.
tell him it's just to see if you can get yours and his tones to 'glue up' better so that the combined result is a bigger wall of sound..
then shag his wife
Two guitar bands are always tricky and need an inverse amount of ego and trust. Bide your time and see what happens.
You need to talk about each others sound, two guitars sounding simular is often awful. Maybe suggest that you will change your sound so that the overall sound is better. Then ask him to do the same.
