Painkiller doing some awesome metal riffen

Rhythm guitars are done with a Painkiller in the bridge of a Strat. Quad Tracked. No lead yet, sorry guys.
Working on it.

That is quite different from some of the other clips I've heard of yours here on this one part of the forum. I suppose the PK does well to combat the mushyness you were saying that Peavey model of yours has. I bet if you started a thread in the Tech section some of the amp modders here could help you with that. E-mailing info@peavey.com will result in a schematic if you ask nicely. They haven't ever denied me, personally.

That's very kind of you, but the guys over at the Ultimate-Guitar forms have spent a while figuring out what the best mods are for the Valveking, they've even made a wiki space for it: http://ultimate-guitar-valveking.wikispaces.com/

I honestly think that it sounds so loose because I'm recording without an interface, adds some noise which makes it muddy.
Working on it.

are you boosting the amp? I have always found recording metal at home volumes sounds mushy and horrible without a good boost (i prefer a clean boost) in front of the amp just to push it into tightness that bit more.

You have some really awesome riffs in here keep up the good work!
