Im a complete noob to guitar and Ive managed to create two customs so far but I have no idea where to start with tones.How do you  guys go about making tones that sound decent ? It kinda takes the fun out making customs or trying to play cdlc that Ive downloaded with no tones.Is there an easier way to make them without going through every different pedal and amp in game ? The combinations are endless and it seems like it would take way forever using that method.

Well, a lot of guitarists spend a lot of time doing just this, tinkering until they get 'their' sound...

 

What I do a lot is find a tone I like in another song and open that in the Tone Designer -- most of the work is already done, I usually only need to tweak some of the settings to get it where I want it. It gets especially easy if you find a song by the same guitarist as you're working on. Then all you have to do is save the tone under a different name and import it using the toolkit.

 

One problem with creating tones is that, even though a tone might sound perfect with your guitar, it might sound off with someone else's, so I wouldn't get too stressed out about finding THE perfect tone for a song.
