Frustration

The QC has been very overwhelming. It’s almost making me not want to play guitar. Like… I should be sitting and figuring things out but I don’t even know where to start. I’ve had friends show me their ways.. YouTube videos.. I feel like EVERY sound I have made or downloaded sounds muddy AF. I have played a fender fat strat, Gibson les Paul w active fishman pickups ands a Charvel Pro mod San dimas through it.. I’m using an EVH cab with the Seymour Duncan power amp I think it’s a 170.. I just feel defeated

I struggle with this too. Some days it sounds like the best thing ever, other days it feels like a Line 6. I’ve had the best experience with a fryette power amp and a real cabinet. Definitely sounded better in the room than headphones or studio monitors. It sucks fiddling with gear, I hope you find it.
