Original rig

Period-correct late 80s Spanish studio setup — likely Fender-style clean amps (Auserón mentioned 'recovering the magnetism of original 60s recordings'), Fender/Gibson electrics. Ollie Halsall famously played left-handed on right-handed guitars with heavy strings, using a variety of Fender and Gibson guitars through clean British and American amps

Clean, chimey 60s-inspired electric guitar with natural warmth, slight edge when picked hard, Spaghetti Western twang on the iconic solo

Use as clean boost for solo sections only — adds slight edge and sustain for Halsall's melodic solo lines. Keep off for rhythm parts.

Why these settings

Your Mustang LT25's Twin model nails the clean Fender headroom this recording demands. The Telecaster bridge pickup is perfect for that Spaghetti Western twang — actually closer to ideal than what Halsall used. Rolled tone to 7 tames Tele ice-pick while keeping the characteristic snap. Mid pushed to 6 compensates for inherent Fender scoop and adds body to single coils.

PRO TIPHalsall's solo tone came from his unorthodox left-handed technique on right-handed guitars — he had extraordinary vibrato control. Focus on slow, wide vibrato on sustained notes and use hybrid picking (pick + fingers) for that fluid, vocal quality on the melodic phrases.
