If I can offer some advice, in the beginning I was trying to use the presets that came with the MOD, to learn what it can do and cut some corners. It all went very bad. Distortion all over the place and no consistency with anything. I’m not a guitar player so my process is different than yours, but here’s the step-by-step that helped me get going:
- Start with blank pedalboard
- Adjust hardware in and out levels (you have to do it in the unit, can’t be changed from a computer)
- Add each plugin and see if the level gets a boost or cut.
- Add gain plugins each time there’s a need to tweak those levels between plugins
At this point you’ll have something workable.
Good luck.
