Built-in Rumble LT25 modulation block to replicate Rex's subtle stereo spread
The Fender Rumble LT25's 'Rock SVT' preset captures the Ampeg tube grind Rex relied on. Rex used active EMGs and pushed mids to cut under Dimebag's heavily scooped Randall tone, so we push the LT25's mid and treble knobs to compensate for passive P-bass pickups while dialing back extreme sub-bass. The Rumble LT25 faceplate has no physical presence knob, so presence is null.
