The Mustang LT25 uses a 2-band physical EQ (bass and treble only, presence and mid controls are null on this faceplate). To adapt your humbucker-equipped EC-256 to Gilmour's hotter Strat bridge pickup, treble is set slightly higher at 6 and the guitar tone is rolled down to 8 to avoid harshness while retaining violin-like sustain through the onboard Big Fuzz block. Clean verse: switch off the Big Fuzz block and switch to neck pickup.
