Amplifier

[Leopard502]

Hi!

I just wanted to ask:In full membership, do you get a lesson which shows you how to set up your amp to sound like rock, blues, metal etc.?

If you don't, then I just bought my electric guitar for nothing because I don't know how to set up my amp so it sounds cool! :(

In my search through the lessons I have seen tutorials with recommendations for set up and effects for different genres.

The only problem is that recommendations can only be generic as amps and guitars will sound different depending on the brand and model. ie. you cant allways make a $300 Amp/ Guitar combo sound like a $3000 set up.

Moreover what sounds cool to you may not be to others. The best thing is to take time and play around with settings.

However having been through this myself the sound is secondary, how you play it is the key, spend your time on the playing and practice and eventually you will work out the setting that you want.

I actually ditched my modelling amp for a simple tube amp, as I found i was spending more time fiddling rather than playing.
