Why these settings

The RockJam practice amp only features gain, bass, and treble controls, so mid and presence are set to null. The built-in overdrive switch provides the necessary post-grunge saturation, but bass is kept at 6 to prevent the small speaker from breaking up loosely on the drop-D tuning. Treble is pushed to 7 to replicate Dave Grohl's aggressive, cutting pick attack.

PRO TIPDrop your low E string to D and use heavy, rhythmic downstrokes near the bridge to maximize the percussive string chug defining the verse riff.
