Everlong amp settings — Fender 15g

The Foo fighters guitar tone for “Everlong”, dialed in for a Fender 15g with a Squier Affinity Stratocaster. Studio version, The Colour and the Shape (1997) — main drop-D chorus and heavy riff

The Frontman 15G lacks a dedicated midrange control and presence circuit, so keep treble moderate at 5 to prevent the Strat's single-coil bridge from sounding brittle against the 8-inch speaker. Run the amp's built-in Drive channel at gain 7 to approximate the saturated Dual Rectifier rhythm wall without flubbing out the low end. Adding a Rat or high-gain distortion pedal will dramatically thicken the core tone into proper post-grunge territory. Clean verse: roll guitar volume back to 6 or switch to the clean channel.
