Is it a problem with recording through USB?

The actual sound of my amp sounds good from clean to distortion. but when recording the distortion sounds muddy. The clean sound is fine.. only the distorted sound is my problem.

Guitar always sound a little muddy while recorded, for me at least. With Guitar Rig, micing up with sm57 or sm7b or DI.

Try cut a little low-mid and high-pass a little bit. That is the location of mud. Cut to much and it will sound to thin.

insert a HiPass/HP and at a 12-18 db curve at 60-100 hz and cut a few dB between 300-600 hz :)

When you record with the mustang, do you record with fuse? Is there a record function inside fuse? I only mic up my amp nowadays.

No, theres no record function on fuse. I use reaper to record.
