Lately, I've been getting really frustrated with trying to play DI into my computer, which is perfect for playing along with lessons on this site. It seems like whenever I try to do so, the sound is very muffled, messy, and just downright bad; borderline broken. Especially on the neck pickup. This is my current chain for processing:
Guitar (Schecter Hellraiser C-1 w/EMG active pickups) >>> Amp modeller/processor (Line 6 Pod XT) >>> Audio interface (Behringer UMC404 HD)

Why are you going from the POD into an interface? Doesn't the POD have a USB output? I used to use a Scarlett Guitar interface (and a Behringer before that) to plug my guitar into my computer and DAW. But when I got my POD HD500X I just went directly into the USB port. My Scarlett has been sitting very lonely in the corner of my music room for months now.
