Why these settings

The ALT METAL voice replicates the original Mesa Dual Rectifier while providing built-in gating for the fast, syncopated stops. The onboard OVERDRIVE block pushes the front end with zero distortion to tighten up the bass response on the LT25's 8-inch speaker, preventing low-end flub on the iconic drop-D gallop. Treble is raised to 7 to deliver the signature early-A7X pick attack bite through your Ibanez humbuckers. Middle has no knob on the LT25: press the encoder to open the preset, press it again on the amp model, then select MIDDLE on the display and turn the encoder.

PRO TIPDig in with an aggressive, downward pick angle close to the bridge saddles and keep your palm-mutes firm to prevent low-end rumble during the fast alternate-picked pedal-point riff.
