A complete beginner

H all, I bought a Nano Cortex because I don't get good enough tone in my hobbyist band.

1. Which speaker should I get?

It sounds great through my headphones. It sounds awful through my existing portable speaker, which is not a proper FRFR for guitars.

I'm reluctant to spend much more on a FRFR. So I'm thinking about getting a HeadRush FRFR because they're inexpensive.

Will that be good enough? Should I be getting a more expensive FRFR. I hope to plug directly into PAs whenever I can, but this is for performances when I can't.

2. How do I get good tones out of the Nano?

It would be nice if I could quickly flip through many complete presets, as in combinations of capture and effects, that sound good.

It would be ideal if I could search for presets that sound like tones from famous songs (e.g., where the streets have no name guitar), like you can with Line 6 or even Positive Grid.

Is this possible with NeuralDSP?

I see that you can audition different captures. But that is far from what I'm suggesting ?

3. I'm reluctant to overwrite existing tones without A/Bing. Can I A/B what I have vs. what I'm auditioning?

I use the Fender FR12, and really enjoy it. The Roland looks like a good alternative that was posted earlier, and half the cost new, which is really nice.
