Selected the '70s Rock model on the Mustang LT25 to simulate Frusciante's pushed vintage Marshall clean tone. Mids and treble are pushed to 7 to deliver the percussive attack and upper-mid bite of the CE-1 preamp, while gain is dialed back to 4 to prevent the single-coils from breaking into full distortion. The Mustang LT25 lacks a dedicated presence knob, so presence is nulled.
