Why these settings

The Fender Rumble is a clean, flat-response bass amp with no presence or reverb controls, so push the onboard Overdrive circuit hard to approximate the heavy Mesa/Boogie Rectifier crunch. Boost the mid control to 7 to compensate for the single-coil Strat's thinner midrange compared to Dave Grohl's humbucker-loaded Gibson, and keep bass moderate at 5 to prevent the bass speaker from turning muddy on low-D power chords. Clean verse: turn off the amp's Overdrive switch and roll guitar volume to 7.

PRO TIPEverlong is played in Drop D tuning (D-A-D-G-B-E); use aggressive downstrokes near the bridge and fret the full octave-chord shapes with your index and pinky while letting the open low D ring freely for that massive wall-of-sound resonance.
