Why these settings

The Mustang LT25's British stack model is voiced slightly darker than a real JCM800, so bass is dropped 1 point and treble is pulled back 1 to prevent muddiness at bedroom volume. The built-in TS model replicates the TS9 boost Friedman used — it must be enabled in the stomp chain before the amp block, with the amp model itself handling the gain staging. Your JS32's passive humbuckers are similar output to Friedman's Jackson, so no pickup compensation needed.

PRO TIPRetune to E♭ standard before dialing in — the original track sits a half-step down, and the lower tension changes how the strings respond to palm mutes and legato runs. For the solo sections, roll your guitar volume to 9 to clean up the attack slightly without losing sustain.
