- Module 4 - Amps: In this technical module, you will see a tube amp being built from the ground up, detailing how tube amps work, how tone stacks work, how to read a schematic, how gain staging works and how to build a "Lamington" tube amp yourself. You'll also learn about effects loops and switching across some of the biggest amplifier manufacturers in the industry.

- Module 5 - Effects: This module will run down how different effects will change your sound, running down the most common effect types. You will learn about overdrives, compressors, gates, flangers, phasers, chorus, wah-wah and much more. As well as learning about each effect, you will learn how to use these in certain genres to create specific genre-related sounds
- Module 6 - Rigs: In this module you'll discover every type of rig that's out there and how to set these up. From wet-dry-wet, 4-wire setups to loopers and pedalboard design, you will be armed with how to set these up yourself.
