Delonge splits his guitar signal to the JCM9000 and the Triple Rectifier, so they're both running simulatenously. It mixes the best characteristics of both, the Mesa's big bottom end and the Marshall's trebly bite and midrange cut.
He claims he likes simplicity, hence his guitar having one pickup and just the volume knob. Yeah, with that kind of rig you can tell how serious he is.

My only comment for all of this: why not find your own voice and your own style? If you are looking to make a quick buck and get your 15 minutes in the spotlight, then by all means, try to sound like every other guitar player out there. It worked for hundreds of forgettables in the 80's with Eddie Van Halen wannabe's. But if you want your own signature sound, invent it.

I said nothing about his ability. I said his guitar tone is good enough to sell millions of records. That said, people don't just become famous. He worked hard to get where he is and I totally respect him. The fact is, there is a reason why he is living in a million dollar house down here in San Diego while few other musicians are. Additionally... people I know liked Blink 182 BEFORE MCA started pumping out their crap. MCA started pushing them because there was already appeal, they only provided a way to widen that appeal's reach.

Good call, I respect Tom Delonge, and always will. If it wasnt for him, I doubt i'd have gotten into music at such a young age.

So nobody has any idea wat setting he keeps his mid, bass, tremble, gain, and presence on his amp. Anybody ever take a photo of his amp head.

Dude, didn't you ask this and Slash's settings?
We already told you, it doesn' matter where the EQ knobs are when you don't have the same amp. PLus, if you don't have the same guitar with the same pickups, those setting will be bogus too since some pickups are brighter or darker than others.
I know it sucks to be a noob but getting a guitar tone that was tracked and "mastered" (where they proceed to EQ the whole song) isn't gonna happen by matching the setting on your amp. Maybe they used ProTools to boost the 5k frequency? Ever think of that? They do it. All the time. I don't know of many amps that let you do that. You need to imediately go buy a graphic EQ and a parametric EQ. Then you can start matching their EQ settings.

This is ridiculous, somebody starts a stupid thread and it gets to be 2 pages long, I try to ask how I can find out how old my mesa is, and all I get is someone making a stupid joke. I ask about hotplates/attenuators, I get nothing, I ask about the speaker mute switch on my mesa, I get nothing. Someone asks a dumb question and you get 2 pages of people contemplating the stupidity of it.

Yes, the last time he was over at my house. He won't let me put it on line, nor will he let me tell anyone where the knobs are set. In concert, he keeps a cover over them.

It's in a thread called new amp, I guess I could have started a new thread for those questions, but I figured more people would still read that one.boingoman said:

Tom: I love my guitar rig! I love the way it sounds and I use it for one main reason: I think it adds the two elements of guitar sound you need to make a big fat sound. I use a Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier and a Marshall JCM900. Mesa Boogies can have all that bottom end and saturation of distortion but it doesn't have that string note tone that a Marshall has. And Marshall has a lot of string note tone but none of that overdriven bottom end. So when you mix the two tones I think it sounds incredible. What I do is put the JCM900 on its clean channel and turn the gain up to 10 and I also do the same with the dirty channel on the Mesa. So you kind of have two totally different unique sounds blended in together. I run that out of 3, Mesa Boogie 4x12's.(thats from his interview with guitar center)
this is during the enema and TOYPAJ era if thats what your looking for. if your looking for the self-titled sound, your screwed
and yes i know this 3 years late but id thought id help
