Essential for the tight, percussive funk attack — use the onboard compressor effect
Your Mustang's '65 Twin model nails the pristine Fender clean this track needs. Gain stays at 2 for zero breakup — this is a studio-clean funk tone. Treble at 7 and mid at 6 give the percussive cut without harshness. The onboard compressor is critical; it replicates the studio limiting that made 70s funk guitar sit tight in the mix.
