Interesting - but that's still a home studio. Is it common practice in
pro studios that record heavy metal bands? 

let's keep it simple as possible: IMHO a professional guitar player in the world should not blend his guitar in a mix without using a tube amplifier and his set of pedals.

you can re-amp or not but that's all.

moreovrer, a recording engineer should not satisfy other whims.
