Why these settings

Fender Mustang LT25's Metal voicing lacks the Dual Rectifier's compressed mid-scoop and infinite sustain, so gain is maxed at 10 (vs Mesa's 9) and mids cut to 3 (vs 4) to replicate the dark, scooped character. Bass pushed to 7 for wall-of-sound thickness. Your Ibanez's humbuckers match the output, but lack the PRS's organic warmth—keep tone wide open to preserve string clarity under heavy distortion.

PRO TIPTune to Drop C# (whole guitar down 1 semitone, then drop low E string 2 more notes to C#). Palm-mute the unused strings hard during open power chords—the extreme gain will amplify every sympathetic vibration into mud if you don't.
