Why these settings

The Fender Mustang LT25 physical faceplate lacks middle and presence controls, so those values are null and EQ shaping is handled via bass and treble. Using the LT25's British crunch/rock voice gives the necessary mid-gain indie drive without needing external overdrive pedals, while the bridge humbucker on your Pacifica provides immediate bite and clarity. Treble is pushed to 7 to match Lovejoy's bright, jangly post-punk rhythm tone.

PRO TIPDig in with hard, aggressive downstrokes right near the bridge saddles to get that characteristic snappy indie rock attack.
