Green Day Dookie Tone

Uploaded by jorge on April 27, 2019.

HX Stomp

HX Stomp & HX Stomp XL patches are supported by all Helix devices.

Description

This stereo tone replicates Billie Joe's tone on Green Day's Dookie album pretty well. There's a compressor and boost available for a little extra oomph, but they're off by default because they're not really needed to get the album tone.

I used a Les Paul to record the Soundcloud demo, you may want to try a Strat or P90 guitar for a little extra high end.

@xmac - The litigator amp provides a nice crispy distortion that just seems to pair up with a Marshall really nicely. I originally tried one of the "jumped" Marshall tones, but the Litigator just fit better.

Interesting! Always interesting how people incorporate amps (like the litigator) that were not really present in the original guitar tone. What would be the choice for this compared to just using the brit 2204?

@jorge Thank you! A really good improvement for my tone on HX.

Great patch, thank you! Nails "Welcome to Paradise" (at least in my head while bedroom jamming, which is all I will ever do, lol).
