Why these settings

The Mustang LT25 uses the 'British 80s' model to nail Slash's cranked JCM800 character; the LT25 faceplate has no physical Mid or Presence knobs, so dial them via the preset menu if tweaking internally. Compensating for your Pacifica's brighter neck single-coil compared to Slash's warm Alnico II neck humbucker, the amp treble is dialed down to 5 and the guitar tone is rolled back to 7 to remove single-coil spank and achieve that flute-like, rounded lead vocal. Final outro solo: switch the Pacifica to the bridge humbucker with tone open at 10.

PRO TIPPick smoothly over the neck pickup area rather than close to the bridge, and dig in with the fleshy edge of your pick along with the tip to generate the rounded, singing sustain Slash gets on sustained bends.
