Feeling This amp settings — Cort Cmr15

The Blink-182 guitar tone for “Feeling This”, dialed in for a Cort Cmr15 with a Cort G110. Studio version, blink-182 (Untitled, 2003) — main opening riff and chorus wall-of-sound

Original rig

Gibson/Epiphone ES-333 Tom DeLonge (Dirty Fingers bridge humbucker) into a blended rig of Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier and cranked Marshall JCM900 clean channel

Punchy, saturated pop-punk wall of sound with heavy midrange grind and aggressive pick attack

Why these settings

The Cort CM15R practice amp cannot reproduce the massive low-end and thick saturation of Tom DeLonge's cranked Rectifier/Marshall blend on its own, so the Valeton GP-50 acts as the sole preamp and gain source. Keep the CM15R on its Clean channel with amp Gain set low (2) and EQ neutral at 12 o'clock to avoid harsh double-distortion. The Cort G110's bridge humbucker has lower output than DeLonge's ultra-hot Gibson Dirty Fingers, so pushing the GP-50 boost block's level compensates for the lost attack. Clean verse transition: kick off the boost and switch to a light breakup/clean amp model on the GP-50.

PRO TIPDeLonge plays 'Feeling This' in dropped tuning (often using a capo on fret 2 for E) and digs in hard right next to the bridge saddles with a stiff pick to force maximum percussive transient punch out of the bridge humbucker.
