01Mustang LT25 Built-in Chorus (Sine Chorus block)
Enable the Sine Chorus effect in the Fender Tone app or on-board — essential for the late-80s shimmer. If no chorus is available, the tone loses its signature width.
The JCM800 is mid-forward with natural bite; the Mustang LT25's Fender-voiced models are scooped and brighter. Compensate by pushing mid +1 over original (7 vs 6), cutting treble -2 (5 vs 7), and dropping bass -1 to avoid flub from the digital low-end. Gain stays at 5 — the LT25's modeling reaches JCM800 mid-gain territory cleanly. The original had no presence knob interaction relevant here; the LT25 lacks a presence control entirely.
