Everlong amp settings — Vox Pathfinder 10
The Foo Fighters guitar tone for “Everlong”, dialed in for a Vox Pathfinder 10 with a Cort X300. Studio version, The Colour and the Shape (1997) — main driving rhythm tone
Gibson Les Paul Custom / ES-335 into Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier (Modern channel, 4x12 cab)
| Knob | Setting (0–10) |
|---|---|
| Gain | 7 |
| Bass | 5 |
| Treble | 6 |
| Master | 5 |
The Pathfinder 10 lacks a mid control, presence, and reverb, so those fields are omitted. Engaging the Overdrive channel and setting Gain around 7 replicates the Mesa Dual Rectifier's saturated bite while keeping the 6.5-inch speaker from flubbing out on the low-end Drop D chords. Your Cort X300 active/high-output humbuckers push the solid-state preamp hard, so rolling guitar tone slightly to 9 prevents harsh high-frequency fizz.
