A somewhat-related anecdote: In one of his short films-about-film-making
Robert Rodriguez demonstrates how he records some of the music used in
his soundtracks. He obviously gets a kick out of being able to apply any
variety of effects - including some impressive distortion - to his
cleanly recorded guitar. It's all done with PT, of course, but it's a
good demo of the utility of recording clean.
OTOH, as a player I sometimes need the sound and the soul coming out at
the same time. Can't wait then. :)
Best,
