I was once an amp advocate and only believed that amps were the greatest distortion sounds you can get. But as of recent I've came across many "Amp in a pedal" pedals. And I can safely say that if you want a certain amp at an affordable price, then invest in pedals. I have the Ampeg VH140c, Diezel VH4, Mesa triple rectifier, Peavey 5150, and a Sunn Model T tones all from pedals. And they all sound very close without even paying a 3rd of the price for the amp
You've got some serious chops! It's curious that you didn't mention that some of the OG death metal guitarists would scoop the middle out of their signal, leading to a whole generation of DM riffers who thought tone with Mids = Not Heavy (If I recall, this carried on until the early two thousands, when Mids were finally decriminalised) Interestingly, I recall there's an early Suffocation album where the guitars sound murky and muddy (not really in a great way) and the demo that was recorded just previous, while supposedly not a serious recording, has guitars that sound clearer and sharper owing to not being scooped to hell
Many early death metal bands uses emg : cannibal corpse, malevolent creation... Scott Burns, the greatest 90's producer says the best combinaison for him was an emg equipped guitar, a Marshall 8100 with Marshall cab with Celestion G12. Many bands from this Era uses active pickups actually also. Cannibal corpse, incantation or malevolent creation use fishman fluence now
When that Malevolent Creation riff hit, i was sold

I agree! It can get very complicated and expensive to chase "that tone" buying and modding tube amplifiers.
i believe theres a valvestate 8100 in a box pedal for death tone
Does it still go through an amp or are you using it as a amp simulation for a line-in input
