How to replicate the famous Dookie/Golub modded Marshall? (ie Green Day)

Trying to make a Green Day preset.
Billie uses 2 100w Plexis, so I'm using the PLEXI 100W 70 since that should be the same amp. His amps are both modded- the top one is the famous Dookie/Martin Golub mod, which "cascades the front end and adds a master volume". What does cascading mean, is it the same thing as jumpering inputs? There's no specifics of what the Dookie mod actually is or how to do it, so all I know is it basically changed the amp circuit to a JCM800 by adding gain and modding the tone stack. The bottom amp has an SE lead mod, which adds a tube for more gain.

So if I'm using a PLEXI 100W 70 as my amp in AFx, how can I replicate the mods? Do I just increase the input trim to add more gain than the amp would normally have? Do I turn the saturation switch on? In the actual amp circuit, how does a JCM800 differ from a 70s Super Lead reissue?
