Why these settings

The 70S ROCK model captures the British power-section crunch of Iommi's cranked Laney Supergroups. Pushing mids to 8 and treble to 7 recreates the aggressive bite of the Rangemaster treble booster pushing the front end. The SG's bridge humbucker delivers plenty of low-end mass, so keeping bass at 7 preserves the iconic doom weight without muddying the tri-tone riff. For the quiet verses, roll the SG's guitar volume knob back to 6 to clean up the signal. 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.

PRO TIPPick aggressively close to the bridge with downstrokes during the main tritone riff, and let the sustained tritone notes ring out with slight finger vibrato to let the British crunch bloom.
