Another trick that hasn't been mentioned yet for recording high-intensity distorted guitars: roll off the low-end a fairly substantial amount BEFORE your ampsim, amp, or distortion device, crank up the distortion to taste, and then make up the low end AFTER distortion, with either the ampsim/amp/pedal EQ, or with post equalization. In my experience, the all the mush and fuzz comes from way too much low end feeding the distortion device, which is what generates those fuzzy, fizzy, buzzy high order harmonics.
