[Rwp] Midi controllers and VST's

[TheOreoMonster]

its a matter of person preference at the end of the day. I had a line 6 pod x3 live years ago so i been down that route before. These days i just plug the guitar direct into my audio interface and use a VST for amps and all other effects. I still have some amps around but thats just a lot easier to get stuff down without having to worry about mic’ing stuff up and etc.
