Dealing with the sound and tone of the guitar was a thing that I was unaware of years ago. I thought it was all distortion and effects and stuff. However, after years of exposure with different musicians, I learned it is needed not only the distortion and effects that matters. The tonal quality of the different brands of guitars also matters a lot on the music that you are playing. Also, the brand of amplifier that you are using also matters. The effects processors and stomps as well as the microphone positions also matters a lot as well. All of this I learned after years of mingling with different musicians.
For example, if you are using a Gibson Les Paul on a Marshall JCM plus a Tube Screamer stomp pedal, the output of sound would be different when you would use a Fender Stratocaster on the same rig. Also, if you use a different amplifier, like a Fender Twin Reverb maybe, the sound would also change. That is why these things matters. The position of the microphone in front of the speaker also matters. It significantly changes the output tone of your guitar. So whenever you are playing the guitar, if you wanted a specific tone, check your equipments and learn them.
