Use the LT25's built-in compressor to add studio-style sustain and evenness — essential for this tone
The Mustang LT25's Deluxe Clean model nails this Fender-style neo-soul tone. Gain stays very low — this is a pristine clean sound. Rolling tone knob to 6 and using neck pickup softens the Strat's natural brightness to match the warm, pillowy studio guitar heard on the track. The onboard compressor is critical for achieving that polished, even response.
