Hi I've done some research into home recording and I'm pretty happy with what I've come up with so far for recording vocals, drums and bass but I'm curious to how I can get a better guitar tone as it's pretty pants at the moment...

I want to get a sound that is really heavy for recording brutal metal tracks but has good tone and clarity on the notes that I hit not just fuzz...

Well I think this was quite stupid for me to post this thread since I think I've found that a Line 6 Pod will do the trick just fine...

I was going to suggest turning the gain down a little on the amp, then in mixing play around with compression and eq, but if a pod works for you then stick with it.
