Off the top of my head:
Exoplanet by The Contortionist
Death of a Dead Day by Sikth
Diamond Eyes by Deftones
Whether you want to call them "djent" or not, these albums are all obviously influenced by Meshuggah and feature that low tuned robotic rhythmic stuff. They also all used real amps and at least recorded a real drummer, which really helps. I think micing up a cab really just sounds better... nearly every time...
The latest After The Burial is another good example... I believe the drums are still Superior, but the guitar tone, while not my absolute favorite, sounds worlds better than any of their previous stuff. Jocke micing up some amps and cabs had a lot to do with that.
Fear Factory/Divine Heresy clearly feature nearly the exact same kind of sound too.... but people don't call them djent, because Dino has been around before Periphery existed. hah... I think some of his newer stuff actually sounds pretty good guitar wise (drums are of course extremely machine like unfortunately)... I believe he used a 5150 III and Mesa cab on one of these newer releases, but I can't remember which at the moment. I know he also uses Line 6 stuff... I'm pretty sure the album tones came from a mic'd up Mesa cab though, even if a Line 6 head was used.
I'm rambling, but.... I think these kind of guitar tones you hear on any of these albums could easily work for bands like Periphery/Tesseract/Chimp Spanner/Animals As Leaders/etc., but they seem to prefer these weak, flat, muffled rhythm sounds for some reason I can't understand. The mic'd tones are just way more aggressive and have more depth in the mix. Real drumming obviously would be a huge improvement too, but I think great sounding stuff can still be made with things like Toontrack's Metal Machine if the midi programming, guitars/bass, and vocal tuning were all more realistic and mixed well...
