Onboard stomp block used as a clean boost to tighten low-end tracking in Drop C
The ALT METAL model captures the aggressive Mesa Dual Rectifier preamp and tight gate required for the drop-tuned chugs. The EC-256 humbuckers push slightly less low-end girth than a Gibson Les Paul, so bass is set to 7 while mids are slightly scooped to 4 to match the 2000s post-grunge rhythm tone. Clean verse: switch to the TWIN CLEAN amp model with the OVERDRIVE block bypassed. 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.
