Why these settings

The Mustang LT40S has no physical mid or presence knobs on its faceplate, so mid and presence are set to null. Because your Big Muff and TS9 provide the singing Gilmour fuzz and mid-hump into a clean Fender Twin model, keep the amp gain low at 2 to avoid muddy double-gain stacking. Roll the guitar tone down slightly to 7 to replicate the rounded top-end of David's lap steel. Clean acoustic/intro: bypass all dirt pedals and CS-3.

PRO TIPUse an open tuning (like open Em: E-B-E-G-B-E or open G) with a chrome steel slide and pick with fingers or light flesh contact to achieve smooth, artifact-free glides with endless sustain.
