The original electric lead and rhythm textures were recorded direct and low-key with single-coil chime and rolled-off highs. On the Mustang LT25 (which lacks dedicated physical mid and presence knobs), the '65 Twin Clean model gives the right rounded headroom. Your Ibanez humbuckers are darker and hotter than Alex's single-coil tracks, so keeping amp gain low at 3 and tone on the guitar rolled slightly down produces the warm, nostalgic lo-fi intimacy of the track.
