I will be the first to admit I don't really know what all you mean about overdrives and such, as they exist outside of FF and in the real world of amps, but at the same time, that looks amazing, and I'm glad you got it.
Okay dear, simplest terms. Right, you generally want to get three sounds out of an amp. The first is called clean, that is just the undiluted signal of the guitar amplified without any effect. The second (what I called distortion even though distortional and OD are the same thing really) is a rhythm sound, which is what you use to play the main riffs. The amount of distortion used varies depending on how high the gain is set, compare something like the riffs in Mizerable (pretty bright) to something like Lu:Na (more distortion and treble). What I call OD is usually refered to as a lead channel, it is what is used to play the leads over the top of the rhythm and solo's. Because the sound behind it is usally heavier, it needs to have more presence to cut through, and since you need to be able to hear the individual notes, it has to be brighter and have more prescision at high gain settings
