Gilmour's iconic tone relies on a high-headroom Hiwatt pushed with a Strat neck single coil, so we use the Mustang's '65 Twin model to replicate that punchy, pristine clean foundation. To compensate for your Les Paul's thicker humbuckers, amp treble is boosted and guitar tone rolled slightly back to avoid mud while keeping the top end articulate. The onboard compressor and tape delay provide the required sustain and acoustic space without needing external pedals.
