All My Life by Foo Fighters All My Life Foo Fighters One By One Tabbed by Bal Sandher This is the 100% correct version of this song, which I haven’t seen yet. To get the Foos sound, you need a thick, crunchy valve type overdrive sound, through a bridge humbucker. Dave Grohl and Chris Shiflett both use Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier Road King 100 Watt heads for their live performances, but I doubt they are in many people’s price range. I created the sound on my 707 pedal. Use overdrive rather than distortion, and have mid gain with high mids and bass.
