Why these settings

The Fender Mustang LT25's 'Rock 80s' preset replicates the JCM/modded Plexi crunch of Slash's Frank Levi Marshall. Setting the mids and treble to 7 recreates the classic British upper-mid snarl while keeping the LTD EC-256 humbuckers crisp and tight. The physical LT25 faceplate has no presence knob, so top-end bite is shaped entirely via the treble control. Intro delay: engage the onboard delay block and mute/strum the intro rhythm, then switch it off for the dry main riff.

PRO TIPSlash picks hard near the bridge with heavy gauge picks and relies on the slightly lower-output Alnico II dynamic response; dig into the low strings with aggressive palm-muting to achieve that raw, percussive attack.
