Why these settings

The Acoustasonic 40 is a flat-frequency acoustic guitar amplifier with no electric distortion capabilities, so your Ampero Mini must act as the primary preamp and cab simulator. Keep the Acoustasonic completely clean and flat (Gain 2, EQ centered at 5) while using the Mesa Rectifier amp model block on the Ampero Mini to generate DeLonge's signature saturated California high gain. On your Epiphone ES-335, use the bridge humbucker with the tone wide open to replicate the sharp, punchy cut of the high-output Seymour Duncan Invader pickup.

PRO TIPDig in with hard, strictly down-strummed pick attack and use the meaty base of your palm right against the bridge saddles to keep the verse power-chord chugs tight and percussive.
