I’ve been learning for the past 6 months or so, but I’ve only really played using Neural DSP and nothing else. I have no idea how to adjust amp/effect settings to make a good tone, with either analogue or simulated equipment, so I mostly just use the presets. I usually am playing through Archtypes Cory Wong, Plini, or Gojira. I’ve searched for tutorials but usually they just explain what every knob/setting does, they don’t really explain how to make it sound good lol. Any points in the right direction would be much appreciated =)
Frankly, it’s a lot of tinkering. However, my “ah ha” moment happened when I started paying with the cabinet IRs. While not a surefire way to make things sound “good” it can be a definitely be responsible for why your sound sucks.
