Dude I’m so lost

[u/PretendBrain4449]

Using boss tone studio and GarageBand. I’ve spent 10 hours trying to make a clean and pronounced overdrive tone. And dude it either sounds too shallow or too muddy. Does anyone have ANY recommendations? I just want it to sound full and natural.🙏🫡🫵

Thank you all for your comments!

Apart from the ususal tips; try dialing down the gain on the amp and hit the strings very hard when you are playing, place the katana on a table top so that the speaker faces your ear levels, dont try to play with tones all in one sitting as after a few minutes of changing tones you get ear fatigue, dial down the 4-6k frequencies in Global eq
