01Onboard Mod/Pitch: Octaver / Shimmer Block
Engage onboard pitch modulation in the Mustang LT25 signal chain to introduce the upper-octave bloom.
02Onboard Reverb: Large Hall / Shimmer Reverb
Set decay long to mimic the cavernous, ethereal space of the studio track.
The Fender Mustang LT25 relies on its onboard Fender Clean voice to provide pristine headroom, with presence set to null as the LT25 faceplate lacks this control. Synyster Gates' high-output bridge humbuckers would drive the clean amp too hard, so the neck pickup with volume dialed back slightly keeps the attack crystalline and articulate. All ambient pitch and trailing reflections are handled entirely within the LT25's onboard DSP without external pedals. For the later heavy section: switch preset to Metal 2000 with gain at 7.
