Seven Nation Army amp settings — Orange Rocker 15

The The White Stripes guitar tone for “Seven Nation Army”, dialed in for a Orange Rocker 15 with a Fender Player Stratocaster. Studio version, Elephant (2003) — main riff and chorus

Original rig

1950s Kay K6533 'Value Leader' hollowbody (neck single-coil) → DigiTech Whammy WH-4 (Octave Down setting) → Electro-Harmonix NYC Big Muff Pi (op-amp/reissue) → 1960s Silvertone 1485 6x10 combo

Sub-heavy octave-down garage fuzz that doubles as a simulated bass line, exploding into raw fuzz-crunch in the chorus

Why these settings

The Rocker 15 Dirty channel is pushed to gain 7 to deliver the garage-rock breakup straight from the amp since no dirt pedals are owned. Treble is dialed down to 5 and the Strat's neck tone knob is rolled back to 6 to emulate the fat, dark low-end of Jack White's hollowbody Kay and compensate for the absence of the Whammy's octave drop. Once you acquire a Whammy and Big Muff, switch the Rocker 15 to the Natural channel and let the pedals generate the gain and sub-octave.

PRO TIPPick firmly with the meat of your thumb or a heavy pick close to the neck pickup to accentuate the fundamental low frequencies of the main riff.
