Of course the manufacturers will tell you to use a preamp, which is never a bad idea. I'll be curious to hear the answer at the end of this.

Yeah, its weird. Almost impossible to get the guitars to any decent volume when straight into the amp, plus the amp significantly cuts bass and sounds very thin. DI/Pre into amp for both guitars - full, rich sound, even too much midrange. I suspect the ideal would be for me to add my HX Effects into the mix with Eq and maybe IR to really get it cooking.
