Crawling amp settings — Idk Ag04

The Linkin park guitar tone for “Crawling”, dialed in for a Idk Ag04 with a Leo jaymz Straddle caster. Studio version, Hybrid Theory (2000) — heavy chorus rhythm riff

The IDK AG-04 is a basic compact practice amp with limited 2-band EQ and no mid or presence controls, so engage its built-in drive switch and run Gain at 8 to get maximum saturation from the unit. Single-coil pickups on the S-style guitar are naturally brighter and thinner than the humbucker baritone guitars on the record, so keep treble rolled back to 5 and the guitar tone knob at 8 to avoid harshness while boosting bass to 7 for low-end chunk. Adding a dedicated high-gain distortion pedal in front will dramatically thicken the tone to match the record's 5150/Rectifier wall of sound.
