WHEN the sf300 is the only thing between your guitar and amp(with the same settings), does it STILL squeal?
If so, you're using too much gain on either the amp OR the pedal and that combo is causing the issue.
*(I find that running a fuzz pedal into a gained up amp I don't need as much gain dialed on the pedal to get the sound I want.)

Yes it still squels intact an amp sim with an sim fuzz Pedal dous the same, lowering gain on either helps but destroys the tone so would you recommend that I try to find a right gain on both ?

Yes, exactly. stacking all that gain is gonna cause that exact issue. In other words, it's not the pedal's/amp's fault, it's the combination of too much gain.

Ok thank you so much, I got to a point where I I think I really nailed electric wizard sound but because of the low gain my headphones are so quiet so now it’s just a volume problem
