HELP! Can't get amp sims to work.

I can't seem to get any audio to play out other than clean. I'm trying to set up to record metal guitars. I can hear the hum of a distorted guitar but yet it comes out clean. I'm gonna walk through how I'm setting it up. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

I start a new project, add an audio track, go to the inserts and place in the plugins of a 808, lePou amp, and lecab2. At this point the sound is still clean. Everything I have seen shows at this point a crappy sound when they audition their guitars. All the plugins are on as well. I then load the .wav file into the lecab2 to get hopefully something, to no avail.

The monitor buttons are pressed, I've set up the device to my interface as well as the vst connections. The thing is if I use one of the amp sims that came with Cubase I hear distorted guitar just fine. Under the load presets that is.

I'm using Cubase artist 7.5 64 bit, and a Focusrite 6i6.

Please for the love of music help me. I'm about to start moshing on my pillows :(
 
Well after working at it I've managed to get it to kind of work. I say kind of because it sounds horrible. I had to create the track as a stereo track and then set the sims to the same. If I try and create a mono track and set the sims to mono then I just get the hum of distortion without any.

do you have any screenshots? that might help
 
When you say the monitor buttons are pressed, is that on your physical interface, or on the tracks on screen?
 
Hope this older video I did helps. You are probably just missing a step or have direct monitoring on (reverence is used in place of the cab sim you are using, but it should be the same setup).
