Marshall code 50 and Weezer sound

[Markfresh]

Hi,
I have a Marshall code on order and was wondering if anyone knows how to set it up for the Weezer sound , I have found plenty of other bands settings but this one I cannot find.

I think the Weezer sound is actually a Mesa with a cranked preamp and low MV. But you can probably just use a DS1 .

I usually use single coil pickups and a fuzz pedal for Weezer. In rehearsal last night I used my tele with Shawbuckers in the middle position into a Mesa Road King modern setting with the gain at 10 o'clock and it was pretty close for Buddy Holly

On the green album I believe that sound is Marshall, IIRC from some reading Rivers liked to crank the mids and treble controls to 10, leaving the bass low or totally off.

That is through a 4x12 though. Give it a try, maybe backing off the treble if it's way too harsh.

The original blue album tone is still one of my faves. Dirty rhythm and great lead, that Mark I just sings!

Mostly Mesa Boogie for "classic" (Blue and Green albums).

Go for the really early River's tone
