Does anyone use this plug in?

Voxengo Boogex
Boogex is a guitar amplifier plug-in with a variety of sound shaping features. With Boogex it is possible to get heavy distorted sound as well as slight distortion sound. Boogex is also able to apply any speaker cabinet impulse response (selection of built-in impulses is available). Processing latency is very modest - 96 samples (2.1 ms at 44.1kHz). Boogex comes with several example factory presets.

Are you supossed to record the guitar track clean and then use this on the clean track or still record distorted and then use this?
 
Whatever you want. It's meant to be used with a clean signal, but you can record distorted and turn the gain way down on the plug. But the point of the plug is to act as an amp, if you do this before the plug (mic'ing a cab, using a modeller) then there's no point to it.
 
Yeah, it's an amp modeller. I haven't used them to any satisfaction. Like IronFlippy said, if you mic an amp, there is no use in using an amp modeller. It will just come out sounding like a re-amp'd track (which can be cool in some applications). I mic my amps and don't DI my guitar (when I can; sometimes it's not practicle). When I do DI, I usually end up throwing that track out and redoing it with my amp later. Most will tell you that it's very hard to get a good sounding DI'd guitar.
I hope this made some sense... :o
 
Hey blood soaked, I'm actually in the same situation as you. I recently just purchased a bad ass amp modeler, Native Instruments Guitar Rig 2. That thing's has more options than anyone could ever want. It lets you build a rack basically, as well as how you'd like your guitar track recorded (mic placement, mic models, etc). It's just really a great program and I suggest looking into the demo of it on native instruments site. It's also a standalone program,meaning you don't have to be using your recording software to screw around with getting a good guitar tone. But anyways, just thought I'd give you another type of amp modeler for you to check out. good luck bro.
