i dont know what im doing wrong, i have listened to some of everyones samples they use with gear box and mine doesnt sound anyhing like those. im using the triple rect amp model and cabs, but then in the effects im using the gate, eq and thats it, everyones guitar is really up in your face and sharp enough to cut your grandma's brittle bones, mine just doesnt seem to have that affect... if you could lead me in the right direction that would be great..i guess i just dont understand guitar tone that much since im a drummer and dont play guitar, but i plan on learning to better myself
 
Try to turn off the cab simulator and instead use impulse cabinets. I like the guitarhack impulses a lot. They can be found somewhere on this forum. Programs like Boogex allow you to use impulses. Just place the vst after gearbox. Remember to turn off the cab simulator on gearbox first though.
 
well see, the boogex is for pc and im running a mac. so do you think that pluggin into a real stomp box then, plug into the line 6 tonedirect box would help with the sound alot?
