Dear Maria, Count Me In amp settings — Fender Mustang LT25
The All Time Low guitar tone for “Dear Maria, Count Me In”, dialed in for a Fender Mustang LT25 with a Squier Contemporary Stratocaster. Studio album cut, So Wrong, It's Right (2007) — main rhythm/intro crunch
Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier & Marshall JCM900 heads into 4x12 cabs, Gibson Les Paul / Paul Reed Smith guitars (humbuckers)
| Knob | Setting (0–10) |
|---|---|
| Gain | 7 |
| Bass | 6 |
| Mid | 7 |
| Treble | 7 |
| Reverb | 1 |
| Master | 5 |
The original pop-punk wall of sound blends a high-gain Mesa Rectifier and Marshall crunch on humbuckers. The Squier Contemporary Strat's bridge humbucker delivers the necessary output, but the Mustang LT25's 8-inch speaker can sound thin, so mids are pushed to 7 with treble at 7 to capture the sharp bite without harsh fizz. Note that the Fender Mustang LT25 control panel does not feature a physical presence knob, so it is omitted.
