Do people use plug-ins to substitute amps very often in rock and metal? Do "big" studios use them? I goofed with the JCM 900 emulator, and I kinda dig it. I don't have all of my favorite recording stuff with me outside of a few stompboxes and a laptop (just relocated), and it seems to at least satisfy the urge to record something.
Here's a test with some hotstepper-programmed drums where I did the guitars clean through a tube screamer (very low gain, more as a preamp), and then applied the JCM900 emu. Any good? I did MINIMAL tweaking here, just to test. It's the top 2 clips on the page:
