The MXR Dookie Drive replicates Billie Joe's dual modded-Marshall blend directly, so the Laney LX35R is set to its clean channel with gain low to avoid muddy double-gain staging. The Jet JS-400 bridge humbucker supplies extra thickness, so the Blend is tilted slightly toward the brighter 'Pete' side with mids pushed on the amp to capture the iconic P-90 punch. Presence is null as the LX35R lacks a presence control.
