Another thread has prompted me to seek advice. Now, maybe i'm just really crap at this, but i have tried direct recording with an Ethos, an Effectrode Blackbird, a Yamaha THR10C and now taking a feed from a Motherload Elemental (best so far) but I still cannot get a sound that's really alive and in-your-face. It always seems indistinct, even after much tweaking and EQing in the recording software. I'm using good guitars through a Two Rock Jet into Sonar 7 on a reasonable PC using a Focusrite Saffire 6 soundcard. I know i'd get better results cranking the amp and micing it, but at home that's not a goer. And I have heard heaps of clips of directly recorded guitars which sound great. Anyone have experience of this who could pass on any decent tips?

If it does you can send a signal from the FX send to your computer and use impulses like digitalscream is using with his AMT pedal. Note, you still need a speaker load attached, but no sound will come out from it in theory. I've done it with my Roadster and it works fine for quick demos. These days I usually just track with an amp sim and re-amp with a real amp later if it needs it.

The AMT preamps are only available in the UK through Thomann, I think. About £100 a pop for the v2 range.
