The studio AM tone relies on vintage British valve crunch pushed hard by silicon/germanium fuzz. Setting the LT25 to 70S UK CLN mimics the clean-headroom Hiwatt/Selmer platform used by Jamie Cook and Alex Turner, while the internal FUZZ block supplies the saturated 'AM' fuzz edge. Because the IBZ-6 ceramic humbuckers on the GRG121DX are hot and edgy, tone is backed off to 8 and amp treble is kept moderate to avoid abrasive top-end sizzle. Middle has no knob on the LT25: press the encoder to open the preset, press it again on the amp model, then select MIDDLE on the display and turn the encoder.
