Hearing guitar FX

[ChrisBlue]

I am trying to hear and record my guitar through an amp plugin but can't hear any effects. I have put the amp both on the input effects and (not simultaneously) on the track effects and switched between monitoring modes, presumably record monitoring ON is the one I should have (but none of the options are enabling me to hear the amp). I've watched videos on this before and can't seem to get it. I feel it is probably simple but am not getting results. Help would be appreciated. Thanks for any help I do have Direct monitoring on on my interface
