Recording HX Stomp sounding bad

Hi there ! 
I've been using HX Stomp for a while and created some presets that I really dig in. They sound great on headphones aswell as my JBL studio monitors.

Recently I've been trying to record a cover of a song - I am using Cockos REAPER and I am plugged in via USB.

Recorded guitar sounds pretty dull, weak and lifeless. It's very different to what I used to hear while playing those presets. I was trying to manipulate with almost every setting of HX Stomp but nothing has helped.
Is there something I am doing wrong ? Why my recordings in my DAW sound so different to what I am hearing on headphones or monitors.
I am using PC with Asio4All drivers.

I suspect this is part of the issue, if not the whole issue. Why not just use the Line 6 ASIO driver?

 

The tone you hear when you record into Reaper should sound exactly the same when you play it back.

Track Input 1

Sliders at default - double click the slider

Track Monitor button on AUTO

Master at default - double click slider

 

With those settings, your track levels when recording should be peaking around -15/-16db, the combined Output Level (center meters on Master Out) about the same.

Playback should also be the same.

 

The Output knob on the Stomp controls what you hear when recording and on playback, but does not affect the actual recording.
