Why these settings

The Mustang LT25's 'Metal 2000' model accurately emulates Dave Grohl's high-gain Dual Rectifier without needing external pedals. Because the single-coil Strat is naturally brighter and thinner than Grohl's Trini Lopez humbuckers, tone is rolled down to 8 and bass is pushed to 7 to restore low-end body. Clean verse: roll guitar volume back to 5-6 to clean up the amp model response.

PRO TIPTune the low E down to D and dig into the 16th-note rhythm with aggressive downstrokes near the bridge to replicate Grohl's explosive drummer-style pick attack.
