01Sine Tremolo (LT25 Onboard Mod Block)
Placed after amp/preamp block to replicate classic Blackface optical tremolo
The Mustang LT25’s ''65 Twin Reverb' model replicates the clean American chime of the original Blackface amp. Because your LTD EC-256 has hotter humbuckers than Stills and Young's vintage single-coils and Filter'Trons, keep the amp gain low at 3, select the middle pickup position, and roll guitar volume slightly down to maintain pristine headroom without clipping. The LT25 faceplate has no physical Mid or Presence knobs, so dial the top-end sparkle primarily via Treble at 7 and engage the onboard Sine Tremolo block.
