The original Midwest emo twang relies on single-coil Telecaster snap into a bright Fender clean platform. To emulate that chime on an Epiphone Les Paul with humbuckers, use the middle pickup position, bump treble to 7, and drop bass to 4 to prevent low-end mud. The onboard compressor adds the percussive finger/pick transient attack typical of Eric Butler's rhythm and lead lines. For the slightly grittier outro sections, roll guitar volume wide open and dig in hard with the pick. 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.
