Why these settings

The Squier Strat single-coil neck pickup naturally has more top-end chime and less body than Jack White's hollowbody Kay, so tone is pulled back to 7 and amp treble is kept low at 4. The Mustang LT25's onboard sub-octave pitch block delivers the faux-bass riff without needing an external Whammy pedal, while the built-in Fuzz model covers the explosive chorus fuzz. For the quiet verses, bypass the onboard fuzz block while leaving the octave tracking on.

PRO TIPSlide cleanly with your fretting hand rather than picking every note individually on the main riff to mimic Jack White's fluid slide-influenced phrasing and prevent glitchy pitch-tracking artifacts.
