01Boss CS-3 Compression Sustainer
In front of amp to maximize infinite singing lead sustain
The Mustang LT40S uses the high-gain 'Metal 2000' or '80s Rock' model to emulate the modded JCM800 lead tone without phantom controls like presence. Running the Boss CS-3 into the front squashes dynamics and extends sustain for the soaring ballad bends. Rolling the guitar tone back slightly to 9 removes any digital fizz from the top end. Clean verse: switch to the Twin Clean model with light onboard chorus/delay.
