Why these settings

The Marshall Code 25's onboard 'American High Gain' model emulates the Dual Rectifier preamp and delivers the necessary saturation directly without requiring external pedals today. To compensate for the Squier Strat's thinner single-coil bridge pickup compared to Dave Grohl's humbucker-loaded Trini Lopez, bass is bumped slightly and the guitar tone knob is rolled back to 8 to tame harsh high-end sizzle. The Marshall Code 25 lacks a physical presence knob on its faceplate, so power-amp presence is managed via the digital model settings.

PRO TIPTune down to Drop D and use stiff downstrokes near the bridge saddles with a thick pick (1.0mm+) to nail the percussive, chugging attack of the signature octave riff.
