Engage the onboard Chorus modulation block on the Mustang LT25
The Mustang LT25 faceplate has no mid or presence controls, so mid and presence are set to null while treble is boosted to 7 to capture the snappy 1983 top-end. The ESP LTD M-10 humbuckers push higher output and thicker low-mids than a classic single-coil, so amp gain is kept low at 3 and tone is rolled back slightly to 8 to avoid harsh clipping on the clean palm mutes. The onboard Chorus block provides the quintessential lush modulation without needing an external pedal.
