Why these settings

The Champion 100 has no mid or presence knob — bass/treble only. Dropped bass to 4 (vs Marshall's 5) because Fender voicing runs looser in the lows; treble at 6 avoids the Fender high-shelf ice. The Overdrive channel at gain 7 delivers enough saturation for this punk crunch. Your Ibanez humbuckers are hotter than Billie Joe's single coils, so gain could drop to 6 if it gets muddy.

PRO TIPAll downstrokes on the power chords — no alternate picking. That's 80% of the Dookie attack. Palm-mute slightly on the low E♭ chugs to keep the low end tight.
