That would be a great accompaniment to David Guetta's piano

Going back to the OP, I tend to learn when I visit certain sites (similar to this but way less cool) that I'm pretty much doing everything wrong, then I start fooling around either downloading patches or trying out posted settings. Maybe 1 time in 10 I have an aha moment and find something new I like but eventually I'll gravitate back to what I like the sound of for my bedroom navel gazing. So I totally get the FOMO involved. But I'll refer to two of my favorite musicians. I watched an interview where Alex Lifeson said of Geddy that Geddy's the type of meticulous guy who has to try every wrong option before he's satisfied he's found what's right, and says of himself that he gets bored easily and likes to just try a few things and when he finds something that seems to work he sticks with it. I'm much more of an Alex than a Geddy when it comes to dialing in my modeler tones. Specific to cabs/IRs, I use Helix and manually curating collections of IRs is generally tedious to me, and I'm much happier with the new cab models which for me can often be fine on or very close to the defaults. And exception is when I have a patch specifically intended for headphones in which case I usually use a dual cab and play around with the pan and delay to make a big wide stereo sound.

I still find it interesting that so many of us, myself included, have this feeling that because a modeler has so many options we are in some way wasting them if we aren't using a good number of them.

It’s largely just something people say when they want to sell something to buy something else.

“There is just too much awesomeness” is generally not a bad thing for most people.

“I’m being less materialistic because this new thing I want to buy does less than this other thing I already own does.”

Did you guys know that with a TubeScreamer… your volume at 10 on the guitar might not be the best option and you can clean it up by lowering the volume of the guitar?

I don't trust that you trust your own ears!

It’s all digital.

Using the volume knob is for people who take the red pill
