Why these settings

The PRINCETON model delivers the classic American clean foundation, while rolling the treble down to 4 recreates the tape-rounded studio top end. Because Strat single coils naturally have glassy bite, using the neck+middle position with tone dialed back softens the transient attack to match the record's mellow DI character. Middle has no knob on the LT25: press the encoder to open the preset, press it again on the amp model, then select MIDDLE on the display and turn the encoder.

PRO TIPPick lightly with the flesh of your thumb or pad of your index finger rather than a hard plectrum to eliminate harsh string transients and nail that signature lo-fi bedroom pop attack.
