Why these settings

The Roland Cube 40GX's built-in R-FIER amp model directly emulates the Dual Rectifier used on the track. Keep the mids scooped down to 4 and push both bass and treble to 7 to nail the modern American high-gain rhythm tone. Gain at 7 provides thick saturation without losing articulation on the fast palm-muted punk riffs.

PRO TIPDrop tune to Drop D (or Drop C# depending on your preferred key) and pick extremely aggressively right over the bridge pickup to reproduce the tight, percussive bite of the original baritone tracking.
