01COMPRESSOR
Onboard stomp block: evens out percussive funk strumming attack

Onboard mod block: replicates Kevin Parker's signature slow, deep Small Stone sweep
03PLATE
Onboard REV block: gives airy studio gloss and ambient space
The SUPER CLEAN model replicates the pristine, direct-to-desk clarity of Kevin Parker's JC-120 clean tone on your LT25. Selecting the Strat's 'in-between' neck+middle position supplies the quintessential scooped, hollow funk quack that complements the phaser. Onboard phaser depth is set deep while keeping the rate slow to achieve the signature sweeping whoosh across the rhythmic chords without overwhelming pitch definition. 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.
