Creating a fuller electric guitar sound (or customising Real Instruments effects)

After discovering GarageBand, I no longer plug any stomp boxes or guitar effects. I connect my electric guitar to my Macbook Pro direct. All effects are via GarageBand.

I typically combine a few layers of amp effects to get a fuller sound for the electric guitar.

This is the setting for my custom “Brit-Wah” amp effect:

Settings for my custom “TubeScream” amp effect:

If you wish to customise your own guitar effects, just pick a Guitar setting and modify from there. Then click “Save Instrument”. You’ll be prompted to rename the instrument. Type in a new name and save it.
