Sic Transit Gloria ... Glory Fades amp settings — Fender Mustang LT25

The Brand New guitar tone for “Sic Transit Gloria ... Glory Fades”, dialed in for a Fender Mustang LT25 with a Ibanez Rg6003fm. Studio version, Deja Entendu (2003) — main heavy chorus/post-chorus rhythm

Jesse Lacey cut this record through cranked British half-stacks (JCM800 and vintage Orange) using single-coils. The 80S ROCK model accurately captures the punchy 2204 mid-bite, while the onboard OVERDRIVE block pushes the front end like an active boost. Your RG humbuckers are hotter than Lacey's Telecaster, so amp gain is kept at 7 to prevent low-end flub. Verses are carried primarily by Garrett's bass; for Jesse's sparse clean octave swells, roll guitar volume down to 4. Middle has no knob on the LT25: press the encoder to open the preset, press it again on the amp model, then select MIDDLE on the display and turn the encoder.
