Why these settings

To compensate for the Stratocaster's single-coil bridge pickup vs the original humbuckers, the Green 9 block acts as a tight clean boost cutting flubby lows before hitting the high-gain Mesa model. Gain is set to 7 on the Cali Dual Modern to generate full saturation without turning into digital fizz, while tone on the guitar is rolled back slightly to 8 to tame single-coil harshness. Keep reverb bypassed entirely for the dry, aggressive punk attack.

PRO TIPAnchor your palm firmly against the bridge saddles for hyper-percussive palm muting, and dig in with a heavy pick (1.0mm+) at an angle to replicate Dennis Lyxzén/Refused's aggressive downstroke attack.
