Why these settings

The Mustang LT25 has no presence knob. The '70s British' model approximates the mid-forward Ampeg/Marshall-adjacent grind Homme uses. Original tone is dry with no reverb. Pushed mids +1 vs original to compensate for Fender modeling's natural mid-scoop; bass pulled back to 5 to keep palm mutes tight on the 8-inch speaker. The LT25's built-in drive on this model reaches the moderate crunch needed without an external pedal.

PRO TIPPalm mute the low E and A strings lightly — just enough to thump, not choke — while letting the higher notes on the D and G strings ring clean. That contrast is the hook's secret.
