The Foo fighters guitar tone for “White limo”, dialed in for a Fender Mustang LT25 with a Squier Affinity Stratocaster. Studio version, Wasting Light (2011)
Dave Grohl: Gibson Trini Lopez / Fender Tonemaster; Pat Smear: Hagström Baritone / Peavey 6505 & Roland JC-120 with MG Music Lexotone fuzz; Chris Shiflett: Les Paul / Vox AC30 & Marshall JMP
| Knob | Setting (0–10) |

The original relies on high-gain tube saturation layered with Pat Smear's Peavey 6505 and baritone grit. On the Mustang LT25, use the 'Metal 2000' amp model to capture that aggressive modern gain architecture; keep the single-coil Strat's bridge tone around 8 and push the amp bass to 7 to compensate for single-coil thinness versus Dave and Pat's humbucker and baritone tracks. The Mustang LT25 faceplate has no mid or presence knobs on the physical top panel (only Gain, Volume, Treble, Bass, and Master), so mid shaping is dialed inside the digital preset menu while presence is null.
