Setup Tips for Different Genres

[cp2032]

Hey everyone, I've been trying to branch out with my playing and get a better sound for different genres. Right now, I mainly stick to rock, but I've started dabbling in blues and metal. I’m just not sure how to adjust my setup for these styles. For instance, should I lower the action for blues to get that smooth bending or raise it for metal to avoid fret buzz when shredding? And what about pickup selection? Any tips on effects or amp settings that suit each genre better? Would love to hear how you all approach this!
