Could you please let me know what the optimum amp / pedal / amplifier settings should be?


Many thanks

Hi Andrew,


During week 2 of 3 "Two-Hand Tapping" I use two different amp settings: 


1 - an overdriven tone with a good amount of saturation (think 80's guitar tones ala Edward Van Halen and George Lynch), a little reverb and short echo/delay.


2 - a clean tone with a little compression, chorus, reverb, and short echo/delay.


I also cover tips on keeping the non-played strings quiet by muting with right hand and using a string damper (like Jennifer Batten and Michael Angelo Batio).
