Muleskinner blues amp settings — Fender Mustang LT25
The The fendermen guitar tone for “Muleskinner blues”, dialed in for a Fender Mustang LT25 with a Epiphone Les Paul Classic. Studio single cut, Soma Records (1960)
1950s Fender Stratocaster & Telecaster directly into a late-1950s Fender Tweed tube amplifier
| Knob | Setting (0–10) |
|---|---|
| Gain | 6 |
| Bass | 3 |
| Treble | 8 |
| Reverb | 4 |
| Master | 5 |
The original recording featured single-coil Fender guitars plugged straight into a cranked Tweed amp for bright, biting rockabilly twang. To compensate for your Epiphone Les Paul's warmer humbuckers, cut the bass to 3 and push the treble to 8 to restore that cutting vintage snap. The Mustang LT25 faceplate has no physical mid or presence knobs, so EQ shaping is handled entirely through the high-end emphasis.
