Why these settings

The EHX Big Muff Pi provides the massive fuzz and sustain, so the Mustang LT40S is set to a clean platform with gain at 3 to prevent double-gain mud. The CS-3 placed first levels the dynamic peaks and pushes notes into endless sustain like Gilmour's Hiwatt/Power Boost rig. Because the LT40S has only Bass and Treble controls on its physical panel, mids are shaped via the Muff's Tone knob around noon to avoid an excessive scooped sound.

PRO TIPDig in with a heavy pick angle on the high-register string bends, and lightly brush the string with the flesh of your picking thumb to produce subtle pinch harmonics that cut through the fuzz.
