Many of you have probably been thinking, "Hmmm. I keep hearing about "Re-Amping". What is it and how is it done?" Here is a vid to break it down
The good news is that you can "Re-Amp" virtually as well simply by recording dry/direct signal with a plugin like guitar rig or something and then changing the plugin to a different one or changing the settings on the plugin you have. The reason this is a bit better IMHO is that it allows MUCH greater flexibility. You can go back as many times as you like and change the plugin and change the settings without having to run the entire guitar track through an actual amp in real time (the length of the song typically) Re-Amping is sorta the original old school way of changing a tone that you didn't like. The more modern approach is "Virtual Re-Amping" using a plugin and IR loader if needed. You can skip the pricey head/cab and just use your laptop and a couple of plugins. In the final mix, you can get a much cleaner sound too IMHO given that most folks here are fairly new to recording. Getting an actual amp to sound right inside your computer is tough. It's worth working on, but if you are more interested in completing the song than repositioning the mic on the cab all day, it can save wads of time.
Anyhoo, here is the REAMPING vid using real amps (Worth knowing how to do, just not something I suggest doing very often)
