Not a safe assumption to make. I find a lot of beginners tend to plateau and get easily frustrated, it's pretty normal. Patience and persistence are key. The more you put into it, the more you get out.

You did one thing right though by getting that as a starter guitar. It will feel good enough and sound good enough for quite a while. They are not pro guitars, but if later on you want to improve the sounds putting some better pickups in that guitar would not be a bad investment, they are overall pretty solid guitars. I had that same exact guitar for a while and I really enjoyed playing it, plus they look nice. Although I prefer my gibsons now lol

If you want to actually have GOOD tone, and not useless digital effects get the epiphone valve junior mini stack, its a 5 watt class A tube head and a matching 1x12 cab. Then go and grab a decent ANALOG distortion pedal, so check out some Electro-Harmonix brand pedals or even MXR are really great brands. What makes these great are that the majority of the pedals are analog and offer true bypass, and putting one of those in front of a class A tube amp just gets you kickass tone.

For practice to save the tubes in my fender hot rod deluxe I use an epiphone valve junior head out of a orange 4x12 cab, and I use one of those Electro-Harmonix metal muff pedals, and it sounds fucking kickass man
