I'm looking for help more in that sense, how to use the bass, mid, treble, and gain knobs, etc. Everything I've come up with sounds over distorted or under distorted.

I came up with this tone, and it sounds really good imo, but I haven't been able to recreate it and I didn't save it anywhere. I just know it was done using the MKII plugin.

If you like your guitarist sound then I would use his. If you are able to mic his amp? When I mic my amps, guitars amps anyways I generally use 3 mic’s 1 on axis, another off axis and the third a room mic and then mix the three with a bit of playing around you should be able to get it pretty close. Also I usually run through a DI first which then splits off a send a guitar signal directly to the desk and one to the guitar amp. I also turn off any effects like reverb and such (except the overdrive if I’m liking it) as I like to add that later. There are some nice guitar plugs about as a amagras suggested.... I like BIAS FX myself. There are a million ways to find that ultimate guitar sounds and can be quite a journey to get there so good luck
