The Worst amp settings — Mooer GE150

The Polyphia guitar tone for “The Worst”, dialed in for a Mooer GE150 with a Ibanez JEMJR. Studio version, The Most Hated EP (2017)

Original rig

Neural DSL Archetype Tim Henson plugin ('W6RST Clean' preset), Ibanez AZ signature guitars with True Velvet pickups, heavy post-production processing (Vocoder, sidechain compression, synth layering)

Pristine percussive clean with glassy highs, tight low-end, minimal compression — designed as a 'blank canvas' dry tone that cuts through dense production

Why these settings

Tim tracks everything on the driest possible clean preset to test ideas before production. The GE150's JC-120 or Twin model replicates this sterile clarity. Your JEMJR's DiMarzio humbuckers are hotter than Tim's True Velvets — dropping gain to 2 and tone knob to 8 prevents muddiness while keeping the glassy attack. Mid pushed to 6 compensates for the naturally scooped JC-120 voicing.

PRO TIPTim's percussive clean tone lives in the picking hand — use hybrid picking with aggressive fingernail attack on the wound strings and let notes ring only briefly before muting. The tone is intentionally 'boring' dry; the magic happens in post-production layering you won't replicate live, so focus on rhythmic precision instead.
