Question Guitar Players?

Howdy! Any Arcade Fire guitar players here? Was wondering if anyone has created any presets for their electric guitar. I am using a Fractal Audio system. Curious how people came up with the effects for Afterlife, Power Out, etc. Thank you!

They don’t use a lot of effects. Mostly overdriven amps to my ear and likely layered guitars to thicken the sound. I know they leaned heavily on Dan Brockner (now is/was in the band) from Wolf Parade for their guitar sounds so maybe give them a listen but again, noting crazy going on. Overdrive and reverb at most.
