01OVERDRIVE
Onboard stomp block used as clean boost in front of the 80S ROCK model
02CHORUS
Onboard mod block to replicate Zakk's constant Boss CH-1 stereo doubling
The 80S ROCK model captures the core JCM800 preamp circuit, but because your Squier bridge humbucker has less output than Zakk's active EMG 81, the onboard OVERDRIVE is engaged as a boost with low gain and high level to tighten the front end. Bass is pulled back from Zakk's cranked setting to keep the LT25's 8-inch speaker tight and prevent low-end flub on down-tuned riffs. The onboard CHORUS block is essential to deliver the subtle pitch widening heard across the entire rhythm track. 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.
