Ok. I have a noob question. Sorry to irritate all you pros, but I need some help. How do you record distorted guitars and get rid of the scratchy fizz sound ?

and puke on the guitar sound and give me some advise. I haven't ever gotten good results from using and OD in front of my amp. it just makes tube amps sound solid state to me. So i don't really want to go that route.
I'm using a Engl Powerball and an Engl Savage with Dean ML , Dimarzio x2n and Marshall v30 cabs. I tried both amps and even used my ESP EC1000 and got the same results with the active pickups so I'm at a loss. I tried to eq the highs out a bizz then it just gets a blanket affect. It sounded decent on my stereo and in my car but fizzy as hell on any computer system. I even dialed the gain down to 4 instead of normal 8. I had bass on 4, mids on 4 treble on 7 precence on 5. I used a sm57 off axis. Just trying to give all my info I can so you guys can offer some great words of wisdom like get a 5150 or something which I had and got rid of due to the same fizz thinking Engls wouldnt do that. Please help. I'm stumped. Thanks
