Bypass completely — the LT25's onboard 80s Marshall model provides the full gain stage
The Mustang LT25 lacks physical mid and presence knobs, so select the 'Rock 80s' JCM800 preset model to get Marshall high-mid crunch natively. Keep your Boss DS-1 bypassed so the digital preamp handles all the gain without unwanted digital clipping or harsh fizz. Crucially, roll your PRS neck pickup tone control back to 6 to emulate Slash's warm, flute-like 'woman tone'. Rhythm verse switch: flip pickup selector to bridge and roll tone knob up to 10.
