The original uses Mesa Rectifier and Peavey 5150 heads for that signature scooped nu-metal sound. The Mustang LT25's Metal 2000 model approximates this voicing with its high-gain, mid-scooped character. Mids set low at 3 replicates the trademark Rectifier scoop; bass at 7 provides the chunky low-end thump without getting flubby through the small speaker. Your SG's humbuckers are hotter than Wes Borland's DiMarzio-loaded 7-strings in standard pitch, so gain 8 reaches sufficient saturation without turning to mush.
