Why these settings

The Mustang LT25's '60s British model approximates the Matchless/Vox chime that defines WSP's clean foundation. Your Les Paul's humbuckers are hotter than Herring's PRS, so I pulled amp gain to 4 (original rig ran near unity clean) and rolled tone knob to 7 to tame high-end harshness. Push the ME-90 OD block for lead sections rather than cranking amp gain — this preserves the transparent, dynamic breakup WSP tones require.

PRO TIPFor the sliding double-stops and melodic fills in the 'Mikey Riff' section, use your neck pickup with the ME-90 OD engaged and pick closer to the neck joint — this replicates Houser's rounded, vocal-like sustain without mud.
