Stoner rock sound (self.guitars)

I wanted to recreate the stoner rock sound (think early queen of the stone age, heavy riffs with fuzzy distortion..) on software/VSTs. Any tips? I'm quite a beginner when it comes to effects and sound quality

It depends on your tastes but on my HSS "Strat" I like a Twin Reverb or a Princeton. Then experiment with distortion. For example, I like the strat on position 1 (neck) or 2 (neck + middle) with volume at around 5 and tone at 8 and an HM-2 pulled way back. Levels 6, Distortion 1 or 2, L pulled back and H around middle. Grungy as fuck.

EDIT: Have you tried the presets in Amplitube? Maybe some of the community ones?
