Welcome to MUST HAVE AMP SETTINGS, home to hundreds of amp settings to help you dial in that tone your looking for. These amp settings were complied years ago, with many friends who emailed most of them to me. When using these, remember, your never going to get the same tone of your favorite guitar hero, it just isn't going to happen. And while some of these amp settings will be dead on, others will need to be tweaked, and others may be way off - these are not my amp settings, and I have not tested them out, but they are the settings others are using to get a desired tone.

MUST HAVE TOOLS FOR LEARNING GUITAR is my newest online guitar site.
