Hey all!

I’ve recently decided to modernise things and have upgraded to studio monitors and using cabs on the helix rather than running it through my amp.. but it sounds awful!

What am I doing wrong?! I’ve watched and followed so many YouTube tutorials and I never sound anything like they do. I get there will be some difference due to monitors, guitars, pickups etc. but these are vastly different.. to a point mine are unuseable.
They all just come out like a bassey wall of noise but one I can’t sort. If I turn the bass down in the ampsim, it still ends up booming.. I don’t fully understand eq but I read up and change the parameters everything says to and that just makes it worse..

I know it’s hard to say what’s wrong without hearing it but is there anything in the immediate that people can suggest? My go to response to it all is just to give up!
