Onboard stomp block modeling tweed-style CMOS drive (Way Huge Red Llama flavor)

Onboard REV slot via encoder — subtle vintage amp spring
The studio cut features Mike Campbell's '59 Tweed Deluxe pushed by an early Way Huge Red Llama for that uncompressed, ragged crunch. Using the LT25's DELUXE DIRT model paired with the onboard OVERDRIVE provides the gritty tweed sag without needing external pedals. On your Strat bridge single-coil, roll the tone knob down to 8 and keep the amp treble at 5 to match the thicker midrange bite of Campbell's vintage Telecaster. 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.
