Again and Again amp settings — Fender Mustang LT25
The Presence guitar tone for “Again and Again”, dialed in for a Fender Mustang LT25 with a Epiphone SG Standard. Studio version, from 'When the Smoke Clears' (2001)
Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier, ESP or Ibanez with humbuckers, likely an overdrive/boost pedal for tightness. Presence played aggressive nu-metal/rap-metal with tight, scooped high-gain tones typical of the early 2000s scene.
| Knob | Setting (0–10) |
|---|---|
| Gain | 8 |
| Bass | 6 |
| Mid | 4 |
| Treble | 7 |
| Reverb | 0 |
| Master | 7 |
The Mustang LT25's Metal 2000 model approximates the Dual Rectifier's scooped, aggressive character. Mid at 4 gives the signature nu-metal scoop without disappearing entirely. Your SG's humbuckers are hotter than typical Ibanez pickups, so gain 8 delivers full saturation without mud. The LT25 has no presence knob—treble at 7 compensates for high-end bite.
