01Onboard Overdrive Block (Mustang Stomp)
Set as a treble/upper-mid boost to emulate a Dallas Rangemaster into the front of the amp model
The Mustang LT25 lacks physical mid and presence knobs on its top panel, so shape the upper-mid bite using the treble control and the onboard overdrive block. Using your Harley Benton humbuckers on the neck position with the tone knob rolled down slightly to ~7 rounds off harsh transient peaks to mimic Brian May's singing, vocal out-of-phase pickup response. For the heavy rock section riff, switch to the bridge pickup at full volume.
