Humanoia amp settings — Fender Mustang LT25
The Acid reign guitar tone for “Humanoia”, dialed in for a Fender Mustang LT25 with a Jackson Pro Series Rhoads. Studio version, Humanoia EP / The Fear album (1989)
Marshall JCM800 2203 (standard UK thrash rig of the era), Jackson/Charvel-style guitars with humbuckers, likely a Boss DS-1 or SD-1 for boost — typical late-80s British thrash setup with minimal effects

The Mustang LT25's Metal 2000 model approximates the tight, aggressive JCM800-into-hot-preamp tone Acid Reign used. Mids pushed to 7 recreates the punk-influenced bark; bass kept at 4 prevents mud on the small speaker. The original recording was intentionally raw and lo-fi — don't chase polish.
