Default Getting more punch from heavily distorted guitars?

You don't have to use amp sims any more, at least not with VST.
There is a free convolution VST - PULSE by Rosen Digital Audio -
and you load up an impulse response of your favorite amp and go.



I bought a Kemper Profiler which "profiles" the sound coming from a
mic in front of an amp. They are REALLY, REALLY accurate. There are
tons of A?B comparisons to judge for yourself. It ain't cheap at
$1700, but I haven't mic'ed an AMP since it arrived last spring.


Ayup. I know (colloquially) multiple users of them.

Many of the Michael Britt profiles are free with it...Stunning. And
it had bass amp profiles, and dozens of pedals, CRAZY. Where it
departs from amp sims are in the clean sounds.


Which just.... there's no good reason for that. For tracking, just find
a good Twin impulse response - you're 90% of the way there.

They have the depth
and chime of real amps. The sounds are taken from real amps/
