Notes
Studio recording for 'Sweet 16' (2012, ¡Uno! album). Billie Joe Armstrong is known to use his Les Paul Junior with a P-90 pickup and Marshall amps for rhythm/riff sections in this era. No evidence of pedal use for the main riff; tone is amp-driven. Settings are estimated based on genre, era, and typical Green Day studio setup for this period.
