ApogeeDUET / -10 vs. +4db / help, please!

I was thinking about getting an Apogee Duet, since i'm going to use it with Mac and Logic Audio.

My current set up includes four preamps: two Api 512c thru a Dav Electronics Bg.no6 stereo compressor (with balanced outputs), a Joemeek VC1qs channelstrip (with balanced output) and an UA LA610 (with balanced output). As you can see all the preamps just have balanced outputs.

Adjusting/standardizing Trim levels on Firepod

We have 3 PreSonus Firepods daisy chained together that we are using to record birds in a specially designed room for our biological research.

I'm recording distortion guitar tacks and am trying to get it to sound smoother, I've tried eq'ing and compression but it's still sounding rough and edgy when I'm wanting it smoother, I'm looking for a Trivium style distortion, but it's coming out too rough. I'm double tracking each guitar, am I using too much gain or should it be more compressed? HELP PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
