Because you own the Boss DS-1, set the Mustang LT25 to the clean '65 Twin model with amp gain low (2) to avoid muddy double-gain stacking. The Jaguar bridge pickup delivers the sharp initial transient, while the DS-1 Tone at 5 prevents harsh fizz on the modeling platform. For the clean bridge/intro section, simply step on the DS-1 to bypass it.
