"This is a fun one!!! The MXR Dookie pedal. The first time I saw @greenday was on the Dookie tour at the Olympic Veledrome at Cal State Dominguez Hills. @samiam.band opened, I believe. Always loved the guitar tone on this record. Thanks @jimdunlopusa & @bryankehoe. #mxr #mxrpedals #dookiepedal #greenday #basketcase #dunlopartist #performanceisevertwhere #jimdunlop"
