Why these settings

The Mustang LT25 uses onboard digital models, so the '70s Rock' or '60s British' Marshall-style model accurately simulates Billie Joe's modded Plexi. Your Ibanez IBZ-6 bridge humbucker provides the necessary output and midrange bite, matching the Seymour Duncan JB in 'Blue'. We push the mids and treble to 7 for cutting power chord definition while keeping reverb at zero for the iconic dry Dookie punch.

PRO TIPHit your power chords with aggressive, consistent downstrokes right near the bridge saddles to maximize string snap and percussive attack.
