01COMPRESSOR
Onboard stomp effect — provides pick-attack definition and sustain for the sixteenth-note gallop
02FLANGER
Onboard mod effect — emulates the sweeping Electric Mistress over the verse rhythm
The '70S ROCK model captures the aggressive midrange attack of Roger Fisher and Nancy Wilson's cranked British stacks without becoming oversaturated. The Les Paul humbuckers push plenty of low-end punch, so keeping bass at 6 prevents muddy buildup under the fast palm-muted gallop. The onboard compressor tightens up initial pick transient snap while the flanger provides the iconic slow sweep. Middle has no knob on the LT25: press the encoder to open the preset, press it again on the amp model, then select MIDDLE on the display and turn the encoder.
