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! :(
There is a small section about "Rock Tone and Gear" (can't remember if it's in Rock Course 1 or 2). But since there's so many ways to set up your sound, it's probably best to experiment using the recommendations in those lessons as a starting-point. I'm pretty sure the Blues Course also covers "Blues Tone and Gear", and in one or more of the Metal tutorials, there's a quick guide to getting a metal-ish sound as well.
But generally, it comes down to personal taste and experimenting with what works well for the song you're playing, as some Rock songs use more Distortion or Overdrive than others.
