01Mustang LT25 Built-in Overdrive (or DS-1 model if available)
Engage for verse crunch and chorus — original used a Boss DS-1 stacked into the amp. If your LT25 has a 'Distortion' block, use that with these settings.
Your Telecaster's single-coil bridge is brighter and lower output than the original Explorer's humbuckers. I've dropped treble from the original's 5 to 4 and pushed bass/mid each +1 to compensate for the thinner low-mid content. Roll your tone knob to 7 to tame the Tele's ice-pick highs and fatten the attack. The LT25's Twin model nails the clean intro; switch to a high-gain model (Metal 2000) for the distorted chorus sections since the Mustang's clean models won't break up enough without a dirt pedal.
