Why these settings

The Mustang LT25 lacks a presence knob, so upper-end bite is shaped by setting treble to 7. Kill 'Em All features heavy mid-range punch rather than the extreme mid-scoop of later Metallica records, requiring mids at 7 on the high-gain Metal 2000 model to capture the raw JCM800 bite. Your Jackson JS22 ceramic bridge humbucker naturally pushes hot signal, so gain at 7 provides plenty of saturation without turning muddy.

PRO TIPStrictly alternate-pick the main riff close to the bridge saddles with firm palm muting to achieve James Hetfield's percussive, razor-sharp attack.
