Why these settings

The METAL 2000 model captures the aggressive saturation and tight low-end of James Hetfield's cascaded Mesa/Boogie Mark IIC+ rhythm tone. Cutting the digital mid control down to 2 mimics the iconic Mark series V-curve graphic EQ scoop while treble is pushed to 8 to match the piercing attack of active EMG 81 pickups on your passive Ibanez humbuckers. Keep reverb off entirely as the rhythm tracks on this album are bone-dry and percussive. Clean intro: switch to 60S UK CLN amp model with mid at 6 and chorus block on. Middle has no knob on the LT25: press the encoder to open the preset, press it again on the amp model, then select MIDDLE on the display and turn the encoder.

PRO TIPAnchor your pick hand right against the bridge saddles for heavy palm-muting and use downstrokes exclusively to get the signature machine-gun percussive chunk.
