Why these settings

The Fender Mustang LT25 relies on high-gain digital amp models like Metal 2000 (Peavey/Soldano style) to replicate Cantrell's crushing Bogner/Soldano tube saturation. Single coils on a Stratocaster are naturally brighter and thinner than Jerry's high-output bridge humbucker, so mids are pushed to 8 and treble rolled back slightly on the guitar and amp to fatten the low-mid thump. The Mustang LT25 faceplate lacks a physical presence knob, so presence is null.

PRO TIPTune down 1/2 step (Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb) and dig into the low strings with heavy, deliberate downstrokes near the bridge to recreate Jerry Cantrell's signature aggressive low-end chug.
