My favorites for vocals - Gverb for mono tracks, Freeverb for stereo, Tape
Delay Simulation, SC4, occasionally TAP Stereo Echo for Haas effect, occasionally
TAP Fractal Doubler.
My favorites for guitar - Gverb/Freeverb, TAP Stereo Echo (Haas effect), TAP
Chorus, SC4. Most of this for acoustic and rhythm guitars. I hardly ever do
anything to the lead guitar.

I find it usually sounds better using the mic. I do have a Behringer V-amp
pro that is really nice for recording guitar. Musician's Friend is selling these
now for $169US. Well worth it. I first ran into one of these in a recording
studio in Ft Lauderdale FL and was really impressed by how real it sounds.
