Why these settings

The Mustang LT25 has no presence knob. Select the 'Metal 2000' amp model (Rectifier-style voicing). The original Rectifier is naturally mid-scooped with massive low-end; the LT25's digital model captures this, so mid stays low at 3. Your Fender Player II single coils are brighter and lower output than Delson's HFS humbuckers — bass bumped +1 and gain held at 7 rather than 8 to avoid fizz.

PRO TIPPalm-mute hard and pick close to the bridge for that percussive 'chunk' — this part is rhythmic stabs under the chorus, not sustained chords, so tight right-hand control matters more than sustain.
