Direct ( POD ) guitar recording question!

Hi,

I've been recently recording a band who has 2 guitarists.
It's a home studio so we record the guitars through a LINE 6 POD 2.0 direct into an MBOX.

At the moment i've been recording each guitar part mono ( just with one cable ), and panning the one guitarist hard left and the other guitarist hard right.

Yet this sounds thin to me, in each speaker.

Mastering Distorted Guitars and Crackling

Ok, this is a problem I seem to have often. The issue is basically this, my mixes sound fine. There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with them. Everything seems to sound clean and glitch free. Then I start messing around with mastering. Now if I am doing something clean with like acoustic guitars or a more clean sounding guitar then I can get a good sounding master.

How to get acoustic guitars sweet sounding?

Ok. I've been trying to record an acoustic guitar track. My friend and I have a RODE Nt-2a, an AKG c 200B, 2 57's, 2 smason c02s, and a Shure KSM 27. I've tried many diff mic placements with many diff mics. The problem is when we go to record we get terrible string buzzing, the acoustic is a Martin DM Mahogany Dreadnought. Any ideas on how to get the strings to stop buzzing?

Attempting to record guitars...attempting...

I know I'm missing something obvious here. I'm recording a guitar by Micing my amp and coming into my 002 with Pro Tools 6.9.2. I'm getting a feed through my mic and everything is coming into Pro Tools just fine. I can monitor my sound when I'm not playing back but as soon as I start playback my signal disappears. I can't hear it nor can I record it.

I'm a student at the Conservatory of Recording Arts in Tempe, Arizona. I start a project next Wednesday, it's my first recording. It goes unsaid that I want to have the best recording in my class. Any Micing techniques, and mic types (I have many at my disposal) that you all could recommend would be very appreciated and helpful.
