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 =)
I’m definitely going to check out NAM at some point, I just discovered it last week. Thanks for the tips! Appropriate input level has proved tricky for me, a random video I saw recommended setting the gain so that volume was between 12 and 18 db before any effects are added, so I’ve been sticking with that, but when I put on a high gain tone and volume is too high I’m never sure if I should reduce the audio interface gain, guitar volume pot, amp gain, amp master volume, amp input level or amp output level, pedal volumes, etc. Just so many options for making it quieter lol
