Why these settings

The Mustang LT25's Deluxe Reverb model nails this Americana clean tone. Gain at 3 gives just enough warmth without breakup — this song lives in the clean-with-body zone, not crunch. Mid pushed to 6 because Strat single coils can get thin; this adds chest to the tone. Treble at 5 keeps it from getting brittle. Reverb at 3 adds studio ambience without washing out note definition.

PRO TIPUse your pick closer to the neck and angle it slightly — this softens the attack for that laid-back country-folk feel rather than aggressive rock bite. The position 4 (neck+middle) quack is perfect for this rootsy texture.
