Re: nothing in particular, but......................

First off, turn the volume and tone controls on the guitar up to full and adjust amp volume to reasonable level. Make the same chords you did on the acoustic, do they sound clangy (surf or garage punk style) or do they distort a bit? Set the tone control on the amp to mid if you want a rock sound.

Does the amp have a gain control or an overdrive button? You may find pushing the button in makes the gain control live, set it low then tweak up a bit. Do you get a fuzzy raunchy sound now? Still not happy? Try dropping the tone control on the guitar down and roll off the volume control on the guitar, raise the amp volume to compensate. You should be rockin' now... Let us know how it goes...
