Why these settings

The Mustang LT25's Deluxe Reverb model nails the Fender clean-to-edge-of-breakup character Modern Baseball used. Mid pushed to 7 compensates for the Strat's natural mid-scoop vs their Tele/Jazzmaster originals. Gain at 5 gives that pushed-clean crunch without full saturation—this band stays controlled, not gainy. Bass pulled to 4 tightens the low end for their precise palm-muted strumming.

PRO TIPUse aggressive downstroke picking right over the bridge pickup pole pieces to get that snappy, percussive attack that defines their rhythm tone—the pick angle and attack location matter more than gain here.
