The LT25 has no presence knob — set to null. Hill Country tone is bone-dry (reverb 0), mid-forward (mid 7) for vocal-like honk, bass rolled back (3) to avoid mud on small speakers. Gain at 4 gives edge-of-breakup grit without saturating — the original was a cranked small tube amp, not high-gain. Select the Tweed Champ model in the Fender Tone app or scroll to the lowest-gain vintage preset on the amp's encoder.
