need some gear advice!

hey, I'm kind of new to the recording game and I'm looking for some advice. The type of music I'm going to be recording will be mostly progressive punk / metal.

I'm using ezdrummer for the drums, but I don't have enough money (or expertise) to buy a decent amp and mics for recording guitars. So, its a toss up between Guitar Rig 3 and the Line 6 Pod 2.0.

New gear help

I just purchased a Tascam Portastudio DP-02CF (refurbished) and I am having some trouble, I am getting no playback. I assume its recording because I hear it through my headphones and the meters show it is getting a signal, but when I go back and press play I get no sound at all. I did some internet research and it seems to be a somewhat common problem, so is there a solution?

Güiro - percussion gear like sound

i was wondering if anyone knew who to get the gear like sound going on in pavements - motion suggests. i've heard it in other songs old and new, though i can't think of any right now.

heres a youtube clip where you can hear it, though not as good as in the studio version.
