Why these settings

The Hellwin is a tight, mid-forward high-gain amp; the Mustang LT25's Metal 2000 model approximates this voicing well. Your Hellraiser's EMG 81-7 actives are hotter and more compressed than Gates' passive Invaders, so I dropped gain from his 8-9 to 7 to prevent mud. Mid pushed +1 from original (5→6) because the Mustang's digital models can sound slightly scooped vs a real tube amp's natural midrange.

PRO TIPGates picks hard right over the bridge pickup for maximum attack and articulation on the main riff—don't shy away from aggressive picking dynamics, as this tone responds to pick attack better than it does to gain increases.
