The Mustang LT25 lacks physical mid and presence knobs on its faceplate, so we shape the mid warmth by backing the treble down to 5 and running the bass at 6. Since your Strat single-coils are naturally brighter and leaner than Rubin Pollock's vintage Gibson ES-345, the neck pickup and slightly rolled-off tone knob (8) add the necessary low-mid girth and smooth crunch. The LT25's onboard overdrive block is engaged to provide the organic, preamp-pushed grit without requiring external pedals. Clean verse: roll guitar volume down to 6-7 for immediate clean-up.
