01Mustang LT25 built-in Noise Gate
Enable via Fender Tone app — essential for tight palm-muted chugs without string noise bleeding through
02Mustang LT25 built-in Overdrive (Green Box model)
Place before amp in signal chain via Fender Tone app — acts as a clean boost to tighten the low end, mimicking how Kasica used a TS in front of the Rectifier
The Mustang LT25's Metal 2000 model approximates a modern Rectifier voicing. Your Ibanez GRX70QA has medium-output humbuckers vs Kasica's hot Les Paul pickups, so gain stays at 7 rather than the original's ~6.5 to compensate for lower output. Mids at 4 (slightly scooped) match the Rectifier's signature sound, but not fully scooped — you need midrange presence to cut through. The built-in OD as a clean boost is critical for tightening the flubby low end that modeling amps can have on high-gain patches.
