Ronnie (Remastered) amp settings — Fender Mustang LT25
The Metallica guitar tone for “Ronnie (Remastered)”, dialed in for a Fender Mustang LT25 with a ESP LTD EC-256. Studio version, Load (1996) / Remastered Deluxe Box Set
1952 Fender Telecaster / Gibson Les Paul Standard into Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier + Mesa TriAxis / Mark IIC+ blend and Matchless/Marshall rigs
| Knob | Setting (0–10) |
|---|---|
| Gain | 6 |
| Bass | 5 |
| Treble | 7 |
| Reverb | 1 |
| Master | 5 |
On the Mustang LT25, use the 'Vintage 50s' model to nail the bluesy, roots-rock crunch James and Kirk dialed in for Load instead of modern scooped metal. Since the LT25 physical faceplate lacks a dedicated Mid or Presence knob, set the Treble to 7 to replicate the Telecaster snap through your LTD EC-256 humbuckers. Keep the built-in Reverb minimal at 1 to match the dry, direct studio room ambiance.
