I’m a long-time guitarist, new to playing this genre. I’m trying to get a sound reminiscent of Blink, Sum 41, etc. Their sound is crunchy, but has a lot more clarity than say metal guitar usually has. I’m having trouble making it punchy enough without getting too muddy.

Pedal-wise, I only have a tuner, a crybaby, and DOD FX510-B Overdrive Plus. I’m playing with a crappy single coil strat that I’m hoping to upgrade to a nicer humbucker strat one of these days.

I know those bands are probably rocking Marshal stacks and have lots of stomp boxes to play with, but if anyone can suggest some settings that might get me closer to that sound with the gear I have, I would really appreciate it. 🤘
