Everlong amp settings — Marshall JVM410H
The Foo fighters guitar tone for “Everlong”, dialed in for a Marshall JVM410H with a Epiphone Les Paul Classic. Studio version, The Colour and the Shape (1997) — iconic main drop-D verse/chorus riff
Gibson ES-335 / DG-335 (Trini Lopez) into Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier (Modern high-gain channel) + ProCo Rat
| Knob | Setting (0–10) |
|---|---|
| Gain | 6 |
| Bass | 7 |
| Mid | 5 |
| Treble | 7 |
| Presence | 6 |
| Reverb | 0 |
| Master | 4 |
The JVM410H is naturally more mid-focused than the Mesa Dual Rectifier used on the record, so dropping the JVM mids to 5 and pushing the bass to 7 recreates the huge modern-voiced Recto low-end thump. OD1 Orange mode provides the exact saturated post-grunge crunch without needing an external distortion pedal. Keep the presence at 6 to capture Dave Grohl's aggressive high-end pick attack. Clean verse/intro: roll your guitar volume back to 4-5 or tap over to Clean Green mode.
