That’s exactly how I’m working, too.
Let me add that you can use a stereo track, amp L, DI R, so you only have to edit a single track in case of mess-ups (guilty !).

Another standard trick I use is experiment with compressors (LA-2, LA-3) and mild saturation FX (Bootsie, UA) either before or after the ampsim, can do wonders for realistic playing feel. And you don’t necessarily have to leave them in after tracking …

Re amps, you might want to check out LePou’s fine (and free) amps – a Soldano and a Hiwatt/Plexi Hybrit .

Some of the best classic rock tones I’ve heard yet ITB.

And then, I’ve finally found my personal favourite cab solution, GR4’s ControlRoom makes all other sims sound better, too – try AT Fender with it – now we’re talking !
And it’s so quick and intuitive to dial in.
Never was a GR fan, got it as part of Komplete, but there’s a lot to like about GR4, some very good amps in there and a nice selection of FX.
