3月5日 amp settings — Fender Mustang LT25
The Plastic Tree guitar tone for “3月5日”, dialed in for a Fender Mustang LT25 with a Squier Affinity Stratocaster. Studio version, Puppet Show album (1998)
Plastic Tree guitarist Tadashi Hasegawa used ESP guitars with humbuckers through Marshall JCM900 or similar British-voiced tube amps with moderate gain, light chorus, and delay for this era's shoegaze-influenced visual kei sound
| Knob | Setting (0–10) |
|---|---|
| Gain | 5 |
| Bass | 5 |
| Mid | 6 |
| Treble | 6 |
| Reverb | 4 |
The Mustang LT25 70s British model approximates the mid-forward Marshall character Hasegawa used. Your Strat's single coils are brighter and lower output than his ESP humbuckers, so mid is pushed +1 and treble kept moderate to avoid ice-pick highs. Gain at 5 gives the soft-clipping shimmer without modern chunk. Use the amp's built-in modulation (chorus) and delay effects at subtle settings via the Fender Tone app.
