Why these settings

To compensate for the Squier Strat's brighter single-coil pickup versus Gary Moore's '59 Les Paul humbucker, the amp mids are boosted to 8 and treble pulled down to 5, while the guitar tone knob is rolled back to 7. The Mustang LT25's British amp model is paired with its internal overdrive stomp block to supply the signature singing sustain of the Guv'nor pedal. Presence is omitted as the LT25 does not feature a physical presence knob.

PRO TIPUse the neck pickup with your tone knob rolled back to roughly 7 to round off the single-coil bite and achieve that thick, vocal 'woman tone' sustain Moore achieved with his vintage PAF humbuckers.
