The Sum 41 guitar tone for “Fat Lip”, dialed in for a Fender Mustang LT25 with a Gretsch G2622 Streamliner. Studio version, All Killer No Filler (2001)
Marshall JCM800 with Vintage 30s, guitars with EMG 81 active pickups (bridge), Seymour Duncan JB in some sessions

Your Gretsch's Broad'Tron humbuckers are warmer and lower output than the EMG 81s on the original—compensate by pushing mids to 7 (vs the JCM800's natural 5-6) and keeping treble at 6 to retain bite. The Mustang's 'British 80s' model approximates the JCM800's midrange aggression; gain at 7 gets the articulate crunch without fizz. Roll tone knob to 8 to tame some of the Gretsch's inherent warmth and add definition.
