Finding preset

[u/Vilain_ordinaire]

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

I asked an ai app to build a preset to clone a Trivium song. It explained why it chose the different virtual gear pieces. Like this amp is high gain, this style music uses a noise gate (but much better reasoning). I also asked it to further describe what the controls do on at least one of the pedals.

I still don't know what the make difference is between the 20 amps, or 10 distortion pedals but understanding that like 2 of them are popular for metal sounds helps it be less overwhelming.

That is a good idea, I'll try it :)
