Oblivion amp settings — Fender Rumble LT25
The Royal blood guitar tone for “Oblivion”, dialed in for a Fender Rumble LT25 with a Squier Paranormal Rascal. Studio version, Typhoons album (2021)
Mike Kerr uses a custom signal chain: Fender Jazz Bass with flats into multiple amps split via an Electro-Harmonix POG2 (octave up for guitar frequencies) and MXR Bass Octave Deluxe. Signal runs through a pedalboard including Eventide H9, EHX Big Muff, Pro Co RAT, and various modulation into Orange OR50/Terror Bass and Fender Super Bassman heads. 'Oblivion' has a grinding mid-forward distorted bass tone with octave-up creating the 'guitar' sound
| Knob | Setting (0–10) |
|---|---|
| Gain | 7 |
| Bass | 6 |
| Mid | 7 |
| Treble | 5 |
| Master | 5 |
The Rumble LT25 has Amp Voicing with an Overdrive setting that provides usable grit—this is your gain source since you have no pedals. Mike Kerr's tone is mid-heavy with grind, so mid pushed to 7 compensates for the Rumble's naturally scooped modern voicing. Bass at 6 keeps it tight without boom (his tone is NOT subby). Treble at 5 adds attack clarity without fizz. The Rascal's single-coil at the bridge gives you the burpy aggressive character needed.
