01Noise Gate (built-in LT25 effect)
Essential for tight palm mutes and eliminating hum between riffs — access via Menu on LT25
02Graphic EQ (built-in LT25 Stomp)
Use the 5-band Custom EQ stomp to tighten low-end and cut mud at 250-800Hz
Your JH-600's EMG 81 bridge pickup matches the original's active-humbucker aggression perfectly. The LT25's Metal 2000 or 5150 III model gets closest to the Rectifier/5150 sound. Mids are scooped to 3 (vs typical 5) to replicate the nu-metal scoop, but not lower — the JH-600's tight EMGs prevent mud. The built-in EQ stomp compensates for the LT25's 8-inch speaker lacking the low-end thump of a 4x12.
