I have started playing 1 week ago. I don't understand how to completely set my amp. Can some one help me for set my amp for j-rock?
I use blackstar id core 10. I use blackstar's amp software for amp settings:

I believe that j-rock is Japanese rock.– MrTheBardJul 13, 2015 at 17:45

1@MrTheBard: Correct, but that's a pretty large genre. The OP might need to be more specific in terms of what exactly they are trying to achieve.– Stephan BJul 14, 2015 at 6:02

I don't know what J-Rock is definitively as it could mean a number of things, however if you mean a 'metal' style rock guitar sound that I believe to be popular over there, then it can be quite simple:
- Strip all of your pedals and effects, and turn all dials to zero;
- Turn the volume up as far as it will go;
- Keep the Bass and Treble dials high;
- Turn down any 'Middle' dials until the sound becomes scooped - bear in the mind that middle frequencies are important for clarity, so find a decent compromise;
- Bring up the gain until you get the sound you require;
- Finally, bring the volume down to a more manageable level.
This will get you a lot of the way, but without any clearer description of what you want to sound like, then I can't offer any more help.
