Why these settings

The Fender Stratocaster's single-coil bridge pickup is thinner and brighter than Brad Delson's hot DiMarzio humbuckers, so treble is pulled back to 5 and the tone knob is rolled to 8 to prevent high-end harshness. Gain is pushed to 8 inside AmpliTube's Dual Rectifier model to compensate for the lower-output single coils and maintain the massive chorus sustain. Tune the guitar down to Drop C# (C# G# C# F# A# D#) to match the original track's pitch and heavy low-string tension.

PRO TIPFor the massive chorus wall-of-sound, double-track the rhythm guitar hard left and hard right, striking the power chords with heavy, consistent downstrokes right near the bridge.
