01Tape Delay (Onboard LT25 FX Block)
Set to subtle quarter/dotted-eighth ambient repeat
02Spring/Hall Reverb (Onboard LT25 FX Block)
Provides the lush ballad space
The Mustang LT25 lacks physical mid and presence knobs, so shape the upper-mid warmth using the Strat's neck+middle position and roll tone back to 7 to match Billie Joe's thick P-90 voice. Rather than high gain, dial the LT25 clean/tweed model right to the edge of breakup so light picking stays chimey while digging into the solo notes adds slight crunch. Built-in digital delay and reverb replace the studio rack ambiance without needing external pedals.
