When I record in Audacity, I turn off one of the pedals and choose an effect, press record and it comes out "stuffy" when I play it afterwards. How are you listening to the guitar while you are recording? What are your headphones plugged into? Which version of Audacity are you using? (Look in "Help...

For the recorded piece I used distortion, which works fine when I record something on the lower notes The audio clip sounds like a guitar playing through a distortion pedal. What ma...

Do you have your guitar or amplifier plugged into the Microphone Input of your laptop? The problem with inspecting artistic performances is there's no way to know what the original intention was.
