How to get the Anthem Part Two guitar tone
Blink-182
Big, saturated, full of sustain. The kind of tone that makes a three-note riff feel like a statement. The EQ sits fairly balanced, which puts all the expressive work back on touch and technique rather than frequency shaping. Layer in room reverb and the whole thing takes on a dimension you can't get from the amp alone.
