When the Sun Sleeps amp settings — Fender Mustang LT25
The Underoath guitar tone for “When the Sun Sleeps”, dialed in for a Fender Mustang LT25 with a Fender Player Stratocaster. Studio version, The Changing of Times (2002)
Likely mid-gain tube amp (Marshall/Mesa style), downtuned guitars with humbuckers, minimal effects—early metalcore production before the band's documented later rigs
| Knob | Setting (0–10) |
|---|---|
| Gain | 8 |
| Bass | 6 |
| Mid | 4 |
| Treble | 7 |
| Reverb | 0 |
| Master | 5 |
The LT25's high-gain models approximate the saturated metalcore sound, though single coils lack the thick low-end of the original's humbuckers. Mids are scooped slightly (4) to capture the era's characteristic metalcore scoop, but not fully cut—the song needs mid presence to cut through. Treble at 7 compensates for the Strat's natural brightness being different from humbucker warmth; rolling tone knob to 7 tames ice-pick highs on palm mutes.
