I have my Supro and Fender amps permanently mic'd up for when I'm looking for a specific sound.
I also go straight into my desk sometimes, and use Ampire for tones. This is for when I want something my amps / boards can't do.
The clear advantage of going direct is that you can remove or change the plugins and start again. With an amp / already affected tone, you have far fewer options.
My Trading Feedback | You Bring The Band
Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after youThanks again, both.
I only use amp VSTs for demos or when the guitar is not a key instrument in the song.
He sent me a very detailed reply, with the number of approaches he had tried over the years and the different software, hardware etc.
To my surprise he said that his early stuff was done with Line 6's Pod Farm which is not like amp modelling VST in that you can't re-amp, but it's a very flexible tool. These days he uses either a Helix or Kemper, and his view was now that the Kemper has pulled ahead slightly as the presets have improved vastly since the original launch.
I've tried several of the VST platforms and never been happy, I can't afford either a Helix or Kemper but that's the road I would go down if I could. In the meantime the Line 6 option is as cheap as you get.
my DI box also lets me spilt the guitar signal and record both my amp and have a DI backup.. I should do that more really.
