01Boss Blues Driver (BD-2)

RECOMMENDED — not currently owned. This is the core of Paramore's driven tone; the amp stays relatively clean while the BD-2 provides the crunch. Without it, the amp alone at gain 6 gets you partway there but lacks the mid-push and compression.

Level 7 · Tone 6 · Gain 4

Why these settings

The BENSTON TG-15 is an unrecognized budget practice amp — knob names on your faceplate may differ. I've set values only for gain, bass, treble, and master; mid/presence/reverb are nulled as their existence is unverified. Your Strat's bridge single-coil is actually close to the Jaguar's glassy character, so treble stays moderate at 6; bass dropped to 4 to avoid mud through a small speaker. The original's crunch came from a Blues Driver into a clean-ish Marshall — without that pedal, push amp gain to 6 but expect less punch and compression.

PRO TIPThe hook is the staccato, palm-checked chord rhythm under the handclaps — keep your right hand tight against the bridge and release pressure sharply between chord stabs to get that percussive, clipped attack that defines the verse groove.
