I have this part of a solo I made up:
And it repeats a couple times.
The problem is this: I get this wierd clunky sound with my digital processor if I don't do the bend absolutely perfect. I figured it was probably due to the digital distortion. So I switched to an analog stomp box, and instead of the clunky sound, I get this whining sound (like other, higher frequencies mixed in). I'm set on my neck pickup, with the tone turned all the way down (for a smoother distortion sound). Also, I'm using headphones.
Normally, this is only a problem I had when recording at 22kHz (which I am). Except I get the problem when I plug my headphones straight into my processor/stomp box, too. Is there a remedy for this?
...because it sounds horrific.

any speaker modeling between the stomp and your headphones? could also be that you're using a DOD Grunge... not considered to have the best tone for... anything but being noisy

DOD Grunge does death to anything that is supposed to sound good.

Get a TubeScreamer.

or he could get something like a Sansamp GT2 and have a nice analog amp modeling/DI box

Exactly. Except somehow I got it to put out a nice soft distortion by playing with the knobs a bit.

I was also considering that it might be the frequency response of my headphones, perhaps? Because I seem to only have this problem on the high end. If I play it an octave lower, it's fine.

I'd prefer to use digital, because my digital stuff gives me far more sustain, which I actually hadn't noticed until last night.

trust me analog amp modeling with a GT2 is better... don't let your experience with a stompbox that is made fun of all the time at the harmony central FX forum ruin your opinion of analog effects...

and if you really want good tone while soloing.. get alot of money together and buy a good tube head and a good cab then go crazy

Strangely, I don't notice the problem when I'm listening to something I recorded as much as I here it when I'm playing. I'll feel pretty stupid if I find out most of it was me catching the raw sound of my guitar. That would at least explain the clunk sound somewhat.
Also, I switched to one of my higher-impedance cables, which helped somewhat. I have this old cable that cuts some of the highs out for some reason. *shrug*
