01Compressor (LT25 onboard effect)
Use the LT25's built-in compressor to emulate the sustained, even dynamics of synth pads
02Chorus (LT25 onboard effect)
Subtle chorus adds width to approximate the layered synth textures
This track has no traditional guitar tone to match—it's synthesizer-based production. The settings above give you a warm, rounded clean tone on your Mustang LT25 that can approximate the mellow synth pads if you play the chord voicings (C#, B, A#m, A). Rolling the Strat's tone knob to 5 and using neck pickup removes the single-coil brightness to get closer to that soft synth character.
