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.
