Why these settings

The Mustang LT25's Metal 2000 model is the closest voicing to the Rectifier/Uberschall stack. Your Epiphone SG with humbuckers approximates the Schecter output well, so no gain compensation needed. Mids are scooped to 4 (vs typical 5-6) because the original is intentionally mid-cut for that modern metal chunk. The Fender modeling platform runs brighter than a real Rectifier, so treble stays at 7 rather than pushing higher. Presence at 0 prevents fizz.

PRO TIPPalm mute directly over the bridge pickup for maximum tightness — the original tracking used extremely precise downpicking with the pick angled slightly toward the neck to fatten the attack without losing definition.
