All the Small Things amp settings — Marshall MG30CFX

The Blink-182 guitar tone for “All the Small Things”, dialed in for a Marshall MG30CFX with a Squier Bullet Stratocaster. Studio version, Enema of the State (1999)

Original rig

Fender Tom DeLonge Signature Stratocaster (single Seymour Duncan Invader SH-8 bridge humbucker) → Mesa/Boogie Triple Rectifier head → Marshall 4x12 cabinet. No pedals on main riff — straight amp distortion.

Tight, chunky pop-punk crunch with scooped mids, aggressive pick attack, dry and focused with no ambience

Why these settings

Original used a Mesa Triple Rectifier which is naturally mid-scooped with tight low-end. The MG30CFX OD1 channel is Marshall-voiced and more mid-forward, so mid is dropped to 4 (vs original's 5.5-6) to approximate the scooped character. Treble pushed to 7 to compensate for the Squier's lower-output single coil in bridge position vs DeLonge's hot Invader humbucker. No pedals needed — the OD1 channel reaches this gain level cleanly.

PRO TIPPalm mute aggressively on the verse riff right at the bridge saddles for that percussive 'chug' — the tone is defined as much by right-hand technique as amp settings.
