Why these settings

Your DSL40CR's Ultra Gain channel nails the JCM-900 component of Tom's blended tone. Gain at 6 (not maxed) keeps palm mutes tight—the DSL saturates faster than a Rectifier. Mid pushed to 7 compensates for the missing Mesa low-end thickness while preserving that signature pop-punk cut. Your Ultra Strat's single coils are brighter and lower output than the Invader humbucker, so treble stays conservative at 6 and bass drops to 5 to avoid flub.

PRO TIPDeLonge's attack came from aggressive downstrokes with the pick angled slightly—dig in hard on the palm-muted verse sections, then let the strings ring open on the chorus for that explosive dynamic shift.
