02SPRING 65 (onboard reverb)
Set via display encoder in preset REV box for subtle room ambiance
Nugent achieved his saturated grind by punishing cranked Twin and Bell circuits with high-output Byrdland hollowbody resonance. On the LT25, the 70S ROCK model paired with an onboard MYTH DRIVE block replicates that greasy, mid-forward power-tube saturation without flubbing out. Since the Epiphone Les Paul solidbody lacks hollowbody acoustic resonance, push mids and treble to 7 to deliver the signature snarl and punch. 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.
