Why these settings

The LT25's Metal 2000 model approximates the Randall/Marshall high-gain voicing. Mids are scooped to 3 (vs a typical 5) because the original tone has that modern metal scoop. Your Jackson's ceramic humbuckers are hotter than the original PRS pickups, so gain stays at 7 rather than pushing to 8-9. Treble at 7 compensates for the LT25's darker voicing compared to a real Marshall power section.

PRO TIPPalm mute directly over the bridge saddles, not further up the strings — Breaking Benjamin's rhythm tone relies on that percussive, clicky attack. Keep your pick attack aggressive and consistent; the tight gate will handle the cleanup between hits.
