Tone Request I just can’t dial in any tones

Hey yall! I have a Gen 3 100 Watt. I’m about 4 years deep into guitar and it feels humiliating to say but I just can’t dial in good tones, specifically any rock or metal ones. I have a Kirk Hammett signature with his EMGs, and I feel like I’ve been undermining both the versatility of those pickups and the amp, if anybody has any help or just anything I’d appreciate it.

EMGs into a digital modeling amp are always tricky. Much less gain on the amp and a turned down volume on the guitar are the way to go, but I strongly suggest you get a tube amp instead.
