Why these settings

The LT25 has no mid knob — the '65 Twin model is already mid-scooped like Fender voicing, which works here. Raised bass +1 vs Bogner original to compensate for your GRG170DX's thinner humbucker output compared to the Wino LP's hot ceramic. Rolled treble down from 6 to 5 because the Ibanez bridge is brighter than a mahogany LP. Volume at 7 on guitar mimics Cantrell's dynamic control.

PRO TIPFingerpick with thumb and three fingers (no pick) on the Am-G-C-Em-Am progression — this is how Cantrell gets that soft, rounded attack. The tone lives in the touch as much as the gear. Tune down to E♭ standard.
