Notes: Heres the correct way to play one of the best songs of the last part of the 90's.
First amp settings for the clean guitar have Bass at about 6 Mid at about 4 and Treble at about 10 you also want a little Chorus and Reverb.
For the Distorted guitar just crank it up Bass, Mid, Treble, and Gain all to 10 and a little reverb.
