Why these settings

The Mustang LT40S uses the '60s British amp model kept on low gain so the owned Dookie Drive acts as the primary smooth overdrive without double-gain muddiness. The CS-3 is set high on sustain to replicate Keith Scott's Pete Cornish Soft Sustain unit into the Strat neck pickup. Mustang LT40S faceplate lacks mid and presence controls, so overall top-end bite is shaped via the treble knob and slightly rolled-back guitar tone.

PRO TIPKeith Scott used the neck pickup of his '62 Strat with pick attack angled slightly sideways; pick softly near the 12th fret during the opening notes of the solo to get that round, fluty vowel response before leaning into the bends.
