Why these settings

The Mustang LT40S Metal 2000 model approximates the Mesa Rectifier's tight high-gain character. Gain at 7 reaches sufficient saturation without mud—the Wolfgang's hot humbuckers push the front end hard. Mid at 4 keeps the modern scooped feel while retaining enough cut for riffs to punch through. No presence control exists on this amp.

PRO TIPUse your picking hand positioned closer to the bridge and dig in with downstrokes on the palm-muted chugs—Downstait's tone relies heavily on precise right-hand attack to keep the low-end tight rather than flubby.
