Dammit amp settings — Line 6 Spider V

The Blink182 guitar tone for “Dammit”, dialed in for a Line 6 Spider V with a Yamaha Pacifica 112V. Studio version, Dude Ranch (1997)

Original rig

1994 Fender 40th Anniversary Stratocaster with DiMarzio X2N humbucker in bridge, Marshall JCM900 4100 (clean channel, gain cranked to 10) blended with Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier (dirty channel), no pedals — straight into amps

Raw, crunchy, mid-forward punk rock with aggressive pick attack, tight low end, and buzzy brightness — not heavily saturated, articulate chord definition

Why these settings

DeLonge ran two amps blended with gains maxed, but the Spider V Insane channel saturates faster — gain 6 achieves similar crunch without mud. Your Pacifica's Alnico V humbucker is slightly cooler than the X2N, so mid pushed to 7 compensates for the mid-forward bark. Treble pulled to 6 (vs original 7) because the Spider's digital top end can get harsh. No pedals needed — the original was recorded bone-dry, straight into amps.

PRO TIPDeLonge used aggressive all-downstroke picking at 215 BPM with a thin 0.60mm pick — the percussive attack is half the tone. Let the open strings ring on the intro riff rather than muting; the buzzy sustain is intentional.
