Why these settings

The Mustang LT25's Metal 2000 model approximates the Dual Rectifier's tight saturation and scooped-but-punchy voicing. Mids raised to 6 vs the original's 5.5 because the Metal 2000 model runs inherently more scooped than a real Recto—this compensates and keeps palm mutes defined. Bass pulled to 5 (vs original 6) because the LT25's small 8" speaker gets muddy with too much low end. Gain at 7 matches the original's moderate-high saturation without losing articulation.

PRO TIPDig in hard with the pick directly over the bridge pickup pole pieces for that percussive Zacky attack—the tone relies heavily on aggressive right-hand dynamics and consistent downstrokes on the main riff.
