Hi all,
After hearing really good things about free amp sims and impulses and what not, I have decided to make the switch from podfarm. I have been reading up on it and I get the general idea, but I was wondering if you could help steer me in the right direction as far as setting it all up goes. Here is my setup...
ESP LTD EC1000 guitar ---> line 6 pod studio gx ---> USB to my computer
So... I was reading that a good way to go would be LePou amp sims + Onqel's TSE 808 + Impulses.
So correct me if I'm wrong...this is what I should be doing...
Load up reaper, and insert a LePou amp sim as a virtual instrument on a track. Then load up the TSE 808 VST plugin right on top of the LePou amp sim. Then load up an impulse loader VST (like leCab) on top of all that and start bringing in impulses from GuitarHack? Is this pretty much correct? Anything I should know about that I am missing? Should this get me started on the way to a good metal tone? Keep in mind that I won't be doing too much recording, and this is more for me to just sit down at my computer and play through headphones along with jam tracks...
