All I Want amp settings — Vox Pathfinder 10
The The Offspring guitar tone for “All I Want”, dialed in for a Vox Pathfinder 10 with a Stagg SESS15. Studio version, Ixnay on the Hombre (1997)
Marshall JCM2000 + Vox AC30 (blended), Ibanez RG with DiMarzio Super Distortion humbuckers, no pedals
| Knob | Setting (0–10) |
|---|---|
| Gain | 9 |
| Bass | 6 |
| Treble | 8 |
| Master | 5 |
The Pathfinder 10 only has Gain, Bass, Treble, and Volume—no mid control, presence, or reverb. The original tone is scooped with boosted highs and tight lows. Push treble to 8 to capture Holland's cutting edge, keep bass moderate at 6 to avoid mud on the small 6.5" speaker, and max the gain since all distortion came from cranked amps. Your Stagg's single coils are lower output than his Super Distortions, so you need every bit of gain the Pathfinder offers.
