The Little '59 neck pickup has more low-end fullness and higher output than SRV's vintage single-coils, so bass is cut to 4 while treble is bumped to 7 to retain glassy single-coil cut. The onboard TS-style Greenbox boost drives the Fender amp model into sweet Texas compression without requiring external pedals. The Mustang LT50 faceplate lacks a dedicated presence knob, so upper-register sparkle is handled directly via treble and the drive tone control.
