For some stuff, I'll send the kick and snare out seperately to two guitar amps and mic those. Sometimes I'll send the overhead with snare.
But on the way to the guitar amps, they hit a stomp pedal compressor (mxr super compressor kills for this) and maybe some effects pedals.

Moving the mics back can bring in more room sound. Anyhow, that's where I stop processing. By the time I'm micing the amp with effects and moving mics, THAT'S the sound, one simple reamp. I try to keep it to minimal steps.

BTW---- can you please upload your FIRST avatar? jeezzzzz.....
