Dookie Paradise Rush — Palm-Muted Verse & Open-Chord Chorus
Blue and the Pete/Meat Marshall pairing provide the song’s alternation between narrow palm-muted verses and broad open-chord choruses. The guitar and amplifier architecture is documented, but no exact settings survive for this track, so the values below are approximated from the album’s two-amp blend.

Notes
Keep the verse muting extremely consistent, then release the palm completely for the chorus. Do not use extra reverb—the rapid arrangement supplies its own density.
