01Onboard Overdrive (Mustang Stomp Block)
Placed before the amp model to tighten low-end and boost upper mids like Ray Toro's TS9/GE-7 setup
The Fender Mustang LT25 lacks physical mid and presence knobs on its faceplate, so mid and presence are set to null while treble is boosted to 7 to deliver the signature JCM800 bite. The hot Schecter Diamond Plus humbuckers push the front end hard, so keep amp gain at 7 and use the onboard Overdrive block as a clean boost to emulate the tight attack on the record. Intro piano section: roll guitar volume down to 3 or switch to the neck pickup.
