The Bogner Uberschall is a tight, modern high-gain head; the Mustang LT25's 'Metal 2000' model is the closest voicing with similar saturation and mid-scoop character. Your Strat's single-coil bridge pickup is brighter and lower output than the Jackson's humbuckers, so bass is dropped -1 and treble -1 to compensate for the added top-end bite. Gain stays high at 8 because the modeling amp handles saturation cleanly. The LT25 has no presence knob. Reverb is 0—the original is bone dry.
