I'll never understand what makes it so difficult...

The Ir's is where it ''can'' take more time. But for exploration of the various amps and getting to learn how they sound individually, you could just stick with the IRs already in the presets. Now 2 more things. Developing your ears is very critical. What works in a mix isn't always what...

Of course mate. I don't expect to just plug a tank and make it work. We'd need a dedicated block that you set to let's say : Out3 - Spring In - Spring out - In3. If you have a look at the schematic I posted earlier it's really not too complicated.
