Why these settings

The Mustang LT25's 'Metal 2000' model emulates the high-gain Mesa/Marshall hybrid saturation used across White Pony without requiring external dirt pedals. We push the bass to 8 to reproduce the massive low-end wall of Stephen Carpenter's Drop C tuning through the 8-inch speaker while keeping mids at 5 to avoid harsh upper-mid fizz. Clean verse: roll guitar volume down to 3 or switch to a clean preset like 'Twin Clean' with onboard chorus.

PRO TIPTune to Drop C (C-G-C-F-A-D) and hit the chorus chords with hard, aggressive downstrokes right near the bridge to maximize pick attack and keep the low octave fundamental tight.
