Why these settings

The Mustang LT25 lacks a physical presence knob so it is set to null, while its onboard high-gain 'Metal 2000' model supplies the thick Bogner Fish preamp saturation without needing external pedals. Rolling the Strat's bridge tone knob down to 7 warms up the single coil's brightness to match Jerry Cantrell's fat Seymour Duncan JB humbucker response. Ample onboard reverb provides the spacious, melancholic room decay heard on the recording.

PRO TIPJerry Cantrell relies heavily on aggressive, wide finger vibrato and subtle pick-hand palm grazing near the bridge to keep sustained lead notes singing and feeding back smoothly.
