The '60S UK CLN' model recreates Black Francis's studio Vox AC30 edge-of-clean chime. Your Ibanez humbuckers push higher output and thicker low-mids than a vintage Telecaster, so using the neck+middle split position with gain kept at 4 keeps the transient snap clean without collapsing into distortion. Treble is pushed to 7 on the LT25 to counter the warmer ceramic pickups and restore the top-end cut. 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.
