Why these settings

The Mustang LT25 handles the Vox/Selmer foundation by pairing the clean Twin model with the onboard Fuzz and Tremolo blocks. Using the Les Paul Modern's middle pickup position mimics the biting chime and body of the original 12-string guitar. Treble is pushed to 7 on the amp faceplate to offset the humbuckers' darker response.

PRO TIPPick with a heavy downstroke close to the bridge saddles to recreate the aggressive metallic attack and string snap of the original 12-string recording.
