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

    A big muff type of fuzz would be a necessity, IMO. Keep the gain cranked and tone around 9 oclock.

    A graphic EQ after to add even more lows and soften the high end wouldnt be a bad idea, either. IIRC, Josh Homme used a parametric EQ to boost the low mids, so if theres a pedal plugin for that, worth a shot as well.

    If you have a variety of amps to choose from, something like a model of an Ampeg VT or V4 would be a good bet. Orange, Sunn, and Laney would work well, too.
