Which AMP1 do you use?
For an Al Di Meola tone with the AMP1 Mercury Edition, we recommend the Vintage channel. You'll get the best results with an LP-style guitar, but it's possible to get ballpark tones with other guitar types, too. Depending on your guitar and pickup type, you may have to make a few compromises and tweaks to your settings::

Underestimated component: the speaker cabitet!
It's important to note that your amplifier is only one part of your overall guitar sound. The speaker you use has an equally big impact on the sound. Because of this, the settings shown above may have to be adjusted depending on the kind of loudspeaker you're using in your cabinet/IR/plugin.
Maybe useful for you too. Overlays for standard sounds can be purchased as a sturdy ring binder or as a download.
