Rocket amp settings — Fender Mustang LT25

The The Smashing Pumpkins guitar tone for “Rocket”, dialed in for a Fender Mustang LT25 with a Squier Affinity Stratocaster. Studio version, Siamese Dream (1993) - Main Riff

Corgan ran fuzz into the Low sensitivity input of a Marshall JCM800 with very low preamp gain so the pedal provided all the distortion without muddying up. On your Mustang LT25, use a pristine Fender Clean model with gain set low to 2 to avoid double-gain mush; note that the LT25 lacks middle and presence controls. Your Big Muff provides the crushing core fuzz, though Corgan's distinct metallic octave-fuzz resonance on Rocket originally incorporated a Univox Super-Fuzz and Ring Modulator.
