The Fender Mustang LT25 uses the '65 Twin Clean amp model as the pristine high-headroom platform needed for Stef Carpenter's ambient clean. Since the LT25 lacks an external physical presence knob, presence is set to null, while lush onboard chorus and delay blocks replicate the DL4 and CE-1 combination without requiring external pedals. Using the middle or neck+middle pickup position tames the high-end sparkle of the Donner pickups to match the deep, submerged shoegaze texture of the track.
