The Fender Mustang LT25 lacks a physical middle EQ knob and presence control, so the tone is sculpted via the Twin Clean model's bass and treble shelf. To capture Stephen Carpenter's expansive Axe-Fx clean on standard single-coil/humbucker pickups, treble is bumped to 7 for top-end air while keeping the amp gain low at 3 to prevent unwanted breakup. Using the LT25's onboard chorus/flanger and delay blocks provides the spacious, dreamy movement essential to the song without needing external pedals.
