My disdain for Billie Joe ( spells his name like a girl by the way) and Roger Waters as instrumentalists worthy of signature models has nothing to do with the fact that they are both bat shit fucking crazy.

It is ridiculous but it does sell. This amp almost belongs in the Clown World thread.

I actually dig that color. Is that like a Robin egg blue or something?
He actually got some killer tones on the 90’s records. I personally don’t care for the songs per se and I’m not a fan of the band. I’ve never understood how they stayed so big all these years.
Didn’t he use a blend of two modded amps in the studio? i.e. There’s not really one amp for the sound.
I really don’t see how you couldn’t find one pedal that would do it on a stock amp. Hell, even the right hot pickup might get it done.
This a fantastic tone whether you dig the band or not.

Actually, I reckon you could also get super close with Friedman Jose, after playing one the other day. But that won’t really save you money.

I like Green Day and put on one hell of a show when I took my daughter to see them two years ago. The guitar tones were awesome.

i was in like 6th grade when they got big, and everyone liked them. now my kids are in middle school, and they all like green day.
I think that kind of says SOMETHING, right? i mean they've had staying power at least. My son has been playing guitar for like 6 months, and he was learning some green day stuff this morning. Its great for beginers to feel like they can play SOMETHING. if that is what inspires him to want to play, i'm cool with it.
I thought the first 4 records were pretty solid for what it was. i thought they were more like Motorhead than people might think. i mean they were always high on speed, playing fast with a ton of attitude, and fairly simple, shorter songs with punk ideals, but maybe not exactly punk. They kinda wrote the same album like 5 times with various levels of production maturity, but it was catchy and fun. what does being punk or not really matter anyway except to some old gatekeepers that don't matter.

Punk was a serious movement in the 70's. It was pure angst rebelling against oppressive gobernments. It's really brought out real emotion in music.
Anyone who was around in the 70's sees GD as phoney punk.
A bunch of bratty suburban kids trying to be tough and cop some of the real punk movement.

There it finally is, now to decide whether to get one or not with an actual one already in the stable...

I was into Green Day when I was 13/14. That's when Dookie came out. I still love the guitar tone on Dookie. I've lost interst in them mostly when Warning came out. The American Idiot album had a few songs I liked, but it wasn't the same as before. Plus, the guitar tone became more artificial somehow. I know, people will make fun of me, but everyone's got their guilty pleasure songs.

3:34, ouch. It literally sounds broken.
I'm not saying team Zen always gets it right - we absolutely do not. But for the life of me I can't fathom how often Boogie, Marshall and other big brands get it so wrong.
On BJA, politics, fake punk - I don't really care because I generally dig the tones, even if you cool guys tell me it's uncool.

Fuck if I was money bags I’d get that, a Ronson wah and a Pelham blue SG with a light blue curly cord. Then take it to my local guy to have it sound much better in higher gain settings.

You can tell it’s a mod that falls apart for rhythm when the gain gets up there. I bet it works up to 9-12 O’clock max on the pre for tighter low strings and for any more a boost might work. This is definitely not meant to be a metal amp.

Yea he's got the gain cranked at that moment, sounds better after he backs it off
