I want to do a cover of the song, but I can't get the sound right. I am playing the lead guitar and I don't know how to set up my amp on the settings.

I have a Mustang 3 and play high gain metal (Rammstein,Dope,etc). This amp's modling just won't come close. I finally set it on the cleanest amp model I could find and pulled out my Boss Pedals, MT2, EQ to get the sound I was looking for. Fuse only models Fender amps, nothing like a Mesa or Bogner, sound is always lifeless for us High Gainers :(

After that, some of the other effects like chorus and delay with fuse helps. This amp alone is really poor on high gain. Better off pulling out the pedal board.

Oh, I don't know. My Mustang V pulls off a MEAN Mesa Dual-Rectifier, but only if you're not too scared to turn the Master Volume up to 4. At that point, it gets LOUD...but at that level all of the fizziness common to SS amps drops away and you're left with nothing but high-gain distortion goodness. Hell, even the Peavey 5150 model sounds pretty good when cranked up.

Those two amp models, however, SUCK at low-volumes. They sound like opening a soda can that you just shook up - way too fizzy. It's not just the power amp. People always keep forgetting to factor in your cabinet's resonance frequency and the amount of air displacement by the speakers themselves. Turn up the volume and the speaker cone displaces more air per unit time, smoothing out certain sounds and also altering the way the four speakers' sound waves interract with each other in front of the cab.

"Fuse only models Fender amps"

Huh?

Fuse and the Mustang amps have Vox, Mesa as well as Marshall models, they are just named generically.
