I'm making a new thread for this just because I want some answers sooner than later
Give me links to your soundclouds, bandcamps, and whatever where your guitars (preferrably fuzzy and distorted/heavy) were recorded direct in. I am never satisfied with how mine sounds and I want to see if someone did it better than me. Thanks fuzzybrrrrreaaauzxzxzxz

All my shit's recorded direct with the exception of a few synth things done with the audacity tone generator*.
Everything but the Cheapfest Savage Cross was recorded direct in.

Do you mean direct-in like, vanillas as it can be, straight into the interface, or direct-in through Amplitube or whatever?

Either way. I just want examples. I usually use either a program called "Free amp" (http://www.vst4free.com/free_vst.php?id=580) or through some tricky EQ nonsense. Either one sounds cool to me for their individual reasons, but neither sounds "right" to my ears, you know?
Pedalboard with stereo outs into Alesis iodock. Recording direct in can be a bitch just like any other recording method, but when I get it right, I love it. Whenever I need natural feedback I just double route my guitar signal to my amp. Those three recordings have some double tracked guitar, but if I just want one guitar, I set my deluxe memory man to its shortest delay time for a doubling effect and it splits it to the left and right which gives a cool stereo effect.

Using a Joyo AC Tone as my "amp" and various pedals into a Line 6 Guitar Port, keep in mind I was pretty lazy through these tracks:
Most of the time it is instrument > [sometimes a green Bigmuff or a TGD or a RAT or a little orange guyatone thing] > Apogee Duet >computer - running Logic I don't use any amp modeling or anything, just lots of different reverbs, compression, delay and EQ..
