Why these settings

The Mustang LT25 uses its '60s British model to emulate the chime and light breakup of the original Vox-style clean tone. Because the Aria Pro II PE-F80 has warmer humbuckers compared to Declan's Telecaster, treble is boosted to 7 and bass is pulled back to 4 to restore single-coil jangle. Note that the Mustang LT25 faceplate features physical Gain, Volume, Treble, and Bass knobs only, with no physical Mid or Presence knobs.

PRO TIPUse the middle pickup position on your dual-humbucker guitar and pick near the bridge with medium-light pick attack to replicate the glassy Telecaster snap.
