01ROCK DIRT
Onboard stomp block used as a tight mid-boost in front of the amp model
The '80S ROCK' model captures the hot-rodded Marshall crunch, pushed by the onboard ROCK DIRT block configured as a classic low-gain boost to replicate James's ProCo Rat frontend. Bass is kept at 6 to prevent the LT25's small 8-inch speaker from farting out under palm-mutes, while Treble and Mid are pushed to 8 and 7 via the encoder to emulate the biting, upper-mid-heavy attack of the original Jose Arredondo Marshall.
