recording overdriven guitar

When I don't want to fire up the ENGL I use a couple of VSTs in Cubase.

I mainly use this one:

That emulates the preamp and poweramp and then I run Voxengo Boogex next in the chain which is a cab simulation.

[url="http://catharsis.supremepixels.com/impulses/"]http://catharsis.supremepixels.com/impulses/[/url] <- I usually use those impulses

It's a 100% free and it sounds surprisingly good, here's a little clip of some Opeth

hi,

i've been messing with that nick crow VST and it's alright, but i struggle to find a nice sound. still, it's nicer than any other digital distortion VST i've messed with, so i'll keep working on it.

whats voxengo boogex? another VST? where can i get it from? will it improve the sound of a previously recorded overdriven guitar that's been DI'd rather than mic'ed?

what are impluses? i'll mess around with them at some point over the next few days, but can you give me a rough explaination of what they are please? are they just with recording, or do you have impluses playing live? if you have them live, i guess the ones in the link are digital ones made to emulate it or something?

i'll have a listen to that Opeth track tommorow

cheers,

Luke.
