The recording
The song 'Dammit' was recorded for the album Dude Ranch (1997), produced by Mark Trombino. Tom DeLonge played his iconic 'Sticker Strat' equipped with a DiMarzio X2N humbucker. Studio sessions involved a blend of Marshall JCM900 and Mesa/Boogie Triple Rectifier amplifiers to achieve a balanced, high-gain punk sound that combined Marshall's articulation with the Rectifier's low-end punch.
