01Chorus (Mustang LT25 built-in effect)
Use the amp's onboard Chorus effect — slow rate, moderate depth for late-70s studio shimmer
The Mustang LT25's '65 Twin model is ideal here—Fender-voiced clean with scooped mids matches the glassy, unobtrusive guitar tone on this track. Gain stays at 2 for zero breakup. Your Squier Strat's single coils are period-correct; rolling tone to 6 and volume to 7 softens the attack to sit behind the song's dominant keys and vocals.
