Guitar amp settings for rock on the harley benton HB20-R Boogie rock lesson

My favorite guitar amp settings for rock on the Harley Benton HB20R amp are very simple and to the point. I don't use any effects pedals as early rock musicians didn't have effects pedals either. If you are looking for authentic tones and sounds try these settings.
Find your way around the fretboard with this simple method below.
Follow these practice methods and you will be rocking in no time with the guitar tone or tones you are looking for.

In this video we look at a few different practice pieces for you to work on.

The HB20-R amp contol dials range from 1 to 10
To get the tone for rock try these settings

EQ settings
Overdrive on
Gain set to 3
Master volume set to 4
Treble set to 5.5
Middle
Bass set to 4
Reverb set to 3

Set the guitar tone control switch to the middle position on a Gibson style guitar and crank up both volume controls to 10 with a third of the tone rolled in on the neck pickup This is a fast way to dial in the electric guitar tones that you want from the amplifier for that distinct rock sound.

Whether you want to play Metal, Rock, Blues or Jazz you start from the clean tone on the amp settings and then hunt around until you find the sound and tone that 'you' want. Then make a note of the tones you like the best.

Have fun and keep practicing.
