Dookie Twin-Marshall Sprint — Tight Rhythm & Compact Solo
The core sound uses Billie Joe Armstrong’s single-humbucker Fernandes S-style guitar, Blue, in Eb standard through the two modified Marshall Super Leads nicknamed Pete and Meat. Pete supplied the defined midrange while Meat added higher-gain, scooped weight; exact song-specific blend and control positions were not published, so the settings are approximated from the documented album rig.

Signal Chain
Notes
Use less gain than a typical pop-punk preset. Strike all six strings aggressively while using the fretting hand to mute everything outside each power chord.
