Default Getting more punch from heavily distorted guitars?

When recording distorted guitars (eg. metal) that are heavily compressed, do you have any tips for achieving greater punch?


Yeah. Don't compress them so much that they have no dynamics, hence no
"punch." Or use a multiband compressor and don't compress the "punch"
range (lower mids) as much as the mids and highs.
