Why these settings

The Fender Mustang LT25 lacks a presence knob and physical mid knob on the top panel for standard presets, but the 'Metal 2000' or 'Super Heavy' amp model in the digital menu replicates the high-gain British bite needed for Mustaine's rhythm track. Your Jackson King V's bridge ceramic humbucker provides the exact aggressive output profile as the original recording. Keep the bass dialed moderately low at 6 to prevent the 8-inch speaker from flubbing out on the heavy palm-muted chugs.

PRO TIPAnchor the fleshy side of your picking hand tight against the bridge saddles for a crisp, percussive mute, and use strict downpicking on the main verse chugs to capture the punchy attack of the record.
