Low CPU Guitar Distortion

[flhctroll]

Hey all. Just started recording guitars direct for re-amping and I was just wondering what you all use for the tracks for Distortion till you can re-amp them later. Right now I am using the voxengo Boogex and it works o.k. but am wondering what other options are out there. Right now I havew a Fender Squire in the controll room with a Digitech Distortion pedal for refernce while they play. Then I record the dry signal into my Mackie Spike into Adobe Audition 2. Then listening back I use the voxengo Boogex for the raw tracks. Later I will reamp with eathier the bands amp (Peavey XXL) or use Guitar Rig. Is there a better sounding low CPU distortion out there? Thanks for your time guys.

I'd worry more about having a Squier than your scratch distortion bro, but that's my 2 cents.

As for software crunch, Amplitube 2.0

The squier was free. It gets the point across and doesnt take up much room

Guitarsuite is the best free amp sim out there, and it pretty easy going on the CPU.
