Why these settings

Title Fight's Shed-era tone is driven Marshall/Fender punk crunch with prominent mids. Your Mustang LT25 lacks a true Marshall model but the '57 Deluxe or Bassman preset pushed with the DS-1 in front replicates the mid-forward aggression. Your Tele's single-coil bridge is brighter than their humbuckers, so tone knob rolled to 8 and amp treble conservative at 6 to avoid ice-pick. Mid pushed to 7 compensates for Fender-voiced scoop. DS-1 at moderate dist keeps note definition for fast punk riffs.

PRO TIPPalm-mute tightly on the low strings during verses and let chords ring open on the choruses - the contrast between choked and open is core to Title Fight's dynamic punch. Pick hard near the bridge for that aggressive attack.
