01Onboard Compressor Block (Mustang LT25)
Engage the onboard stomp compressor block in front of the acoustic model to simulate Tim Henson's heavy multi-band transient squish
The original relies on a piezo nylon string going into a studio-grade acoustic simulation with aggressive compression. Using your Jackson JS22 humbuckers, run the Mustang LT25's Acoustic Sim model, cut the low-end significantly to kill muddy humbucker resonance, and push treble to mimic the bright snap of nylon transients. Using both humbuckers combined with the volume slightly rolled off keeps the clean signal glassy and percussive.
