Thank you very much for all the info exo!!
I'll have a crack at it this week...
I'm a big fan of the v-amp as well, but I've always been one of those plug it in, find a ripping tone, and crank it up sort of guys.
Experimenting alot with tones/amps/effects etc is something quite new to me.
My last rig went thru a metalzone, and I hadn't changed the settings for about 2 years

.
Cheers mate!
