Thoroughly confused about gain staging and about to give up

Honestly feel that a lot of the issues with people not getting the right sound out of each amp model is partly because of technique and guitar/pickup choice. There’s so many amps in modelers that people haven’t ever played, so they don’t understand how the amps work or respond IRL. Add that with technique that isn’t great and it’s causing lots of confusion.

Saw this same thing in multiple videos, however, I am not finding a simple-enough way to determine how much gain is added to the audio interface input from the zero baseline. I have a Focusrite Scarlett Solo Gen 3. Any resources?

Again, this is the Quad Cortex forum; these concerns are appropriate for the plugins and computer plugins, but this is a non-issue with the QC.
