Notes

All knob values are estimates. The song 'My Worst Enemy' could not be confirmed as a Foo Fighters title, so this is a general band-style rhythm tone, not a song-accurate rig. Control names for GATE, BLACK OP, TAPE ECHO and AIR REVERB, and for the 92 TREADPLATE VINTAGE amp, are unverified. The amp names (gain, bass, mid, treble, presence, master) follow the real Dual Rectifier panel, so check them on the device. Cab control names are confirmed on the MX5. Stereo is assumed because of the reverb block, so confirm on the MX5. The Rat's Filter knob works in reverse (higher is darker), which is why it is set low. If it's too scooped or fizzy, raise Mid and lower Presence. If it's too tight or thin, raise Bass. Alternates: 92 TREADPLATE MODERN for more gain, or 82 LEAD 800 100W (JCM800) for a more classic-rock feel. Both are untested.
