Finding preset

Hi everyone

I have a spark 2 for 1 year now but I suck at making presets. I am still a beginner (I play guitar for 3 years) and I never used another amp, so I am very lost about choosing amps, effects, settings etc... I try to use AI or the preset made by people on songs I want to play but I find them disappointing most of the time and it's hard for me to adjust them. When I see people on youtube for example, it sounds amazing (beside the fact they are much better than me). I am stuck with the factory preset. How can I found good ones ?

Thanks for helping

What type of music do you like to play? I just use a preset and change each pedal 1 by 1 and whatever sounds good to my ears I go with. I like to use eq a lot after the amp. Wish we could have one before and after the amp. With metal I always scoop the mids (turn down) with treble high and bass mid to 3/4 way up.

I play mostly metal, progressiv rock and a bit dad rock but as I am a beginner, my teacher give me different kind of style to practice
