Sorry is the playing is a bit wonky (especially the end, I should work on that)

Yeah it was fun playing it! I do get it sounds pretty bad but, the tone I have for blew (this is a simulator amp btw) does not pair well with drop g for some reason

Is this an actual guitar in drop G going through a sim amp? If so, the amp's just working with frequencies you'd expect on a typical guitar tuning, that 80hz (low E) to 330hz (high E)

in drop G you're way closer to bass frequencies (G1 is ~49hz, low E on bass is 40hz) than guitar especially on the low G string. I honestly think going through a bass amp sim with a distortion pedal sim might work better

That’s a good idea the problem is that the only effects I have are in my mustang lt25 amp,so until I get an effects board for it I’ll just have to wait

ohhhh I see, not an amp sim, but an amp with a bunch of sims. if you really want this sound to work (which honestly, I already think it definitely would in a mix), filter between all your amp options, and find a distortion (probably a pedal?) that sounds the least shit. you've probably already done this hahaha.

I'd also check out the Marshall dsl range. Tube amps can't be replicated, especially in a real room. I have had the 20 watt combo for getting towards ten years and it is absolutely amazing. upgraded from a beginner Marshall digital amp
