Why these settings

Mister Monster is an obscure horror punk act with no documented rig info. The tone suggests Marshall-style crunch typical of the Misfits-influenced punk scene. Your Mustang LT25 lacks a true Marshall model, so use the 57 Deluxe as a clean platform and push the DS-2 for all gain—this prevents muddy stacking. Rolling tone to 7 on your Strat tames the single-coil ice pick that humbuckers wouldn't have.

PRO TIPHorror punk relies on tight downstrokes with palm muting on the low strings—keep your picking hand anchored near the bridge and attack aggressively to get that percussive chunk on power chords.
