Why these settings

The Mustang LT25 uses a 2-band EQ (Bass and Treble only) without presence or mid knobs. Using the vintage British/60s crunch amp voice supplies the necessary hybrid solid-state/tube preamp grit of the original Vox UL730/Selmer amps. The Jaguar's bridge single-coil is naturally thin and bright, so keeping the guitar tone knob at 8 and treble at 7 prevents excessive ear-piercing harshness while preserving the signature Abbey Road RS127 presence bite.

PRO TIPEngage the Jaguar's lead circuit with the strangle/bass-cut switch off, and pick aggressively close to the bridge using a stiff pick to replicate the percussive, forward attack Paul and George captured with the Abbey Road Fairchild limiters.
