Why these settings

The Fender Mustang LT40S is set to a transparent clean platform (Twin model) with gain dropped to 2 so your Big Muff provides all the harmonic saturation without double-gain mud. Mid and presence are set to null because the LT40S faceplate utilizes physical Bass and Treble controls without dedicated physical Mid/Presence knobs. The slight tone roll-off on the guitar softens harsh Strat single-coil highs into the fuzz.

PRO TIPPick firmly with the meat of the pick close to the bridge, and use wide, slow finger vibrato after the note sounds to keep the Big Muff sustaining through the long solo bends.
