To celebrate the 25th anniversary of Green Day's groundbreaking album Dookie, this pedal captures the dirty but articulate sound that Billie Joe Armstrong used on that record, combining the sounds of two modulated amplifiers into a single pedal for full harmonic range depth and dimension. This release features a special edition that contrasts the most explosive element of the Dookie album cover with brushed aluminum casting for a look that's both sleek and sturdy.
The long story
Billie Joe Armstrong's guitar sound on Green Day's breakthrough album Dookie was dirty and hard-hitting, with perfect articulation to convey the musicality of his fast, melodic riffs. He achieved this sound by running his signal through two heavily modified amplifiers, one with a ton of gain and the other with a well-defined midrange. When it came time to mix the record, the band mixed the two signals in different proportions to match the mood of each track.
