Why these settings

The Mustang LT25 lacks a true Supro model, so the Deluxe Reverb preset gets closest to that small American combo breakup. Pushed mid +1 vs original (6 vs 5) because the Eko's humbuckers are darker than Page's Telecaster single-coil. Gain set to 5 (vs original 6) because the Mustang's modeling saturates earlier than a real tube Supro at bedroom volume. Rolled treble back to 5 to avoid digital harshness.

PRO TIPRoll your guitar volume knob to 7-8 for the cleaner arpeggiated sections before the solo, then open to 10 when the solo kicks in — this is how Page controlled dynamics on the original without touching the amp.
