Why these settings

The Mustang LT25's Deluxe CLN model provides the warm, glassy clean this track needs. Treble dropped to 3 and tone knob rolled to 4 recreates the lo-fi high-end rolloff audible in the recording. Your Ultra Strat's neck single coil with the S-1 switch disengaged delivers the round, jazzy character—volume at 8 softens the attack slightly for that relaxed feel.

PRO TIPPick closer to the neck (over the fretboard edge) with the fleshy part of your thumb or fingers rather than a hard pick attack—this is essential for the pillowy, lo-fi clean tone Memo Boy achieves throughout this track.
