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?

Most valuabe gear to have to achieve 60s garage tone?

For the last couple years i have been on a never ending quest to achieve that famous fuzz tone of the 60s garage bands such as the sonics, early stones, the kinks, the chesterfield kings. I guess the best representation of the sound would be a new band called the urges.
