Placed pre-amplifier in signal chain for authentic swirly modulation
02Onboard Tape Echo / Vintage Delay Block
Emulates the multi-head Binson Echorec rhythmic repeats
The Fender Mustang LT25 lacks physical mid and presence knobs, so global midrange is shaped via the flat 'Twin Clean' model with moderate bass and rolled-off treble to emulate Gilmour's punchy Hiwatt headroom. Since this is a modeling amp, onboard modulation and tape delay blocks recreate the Uni-Vibe and Binson Echorec chain without needing external pedals. Rolling the Strat tone knob to 8 smooths out single-coil spike to capture the warm, dark 1973 studio vinyl sound.
