Why these settings

The Metal 2000 model on the Mustang LT25 provides the high-gain saturation and tight low-end response needed to mimic Dimebag's solid-state Randall rig. Mids are deeply scooped down to 2 while bass and treble are pushed to recreate the extreme pre- and post-EQ shaping of his Furman and MXR units. Presence is set to null because the Mustang LT25 lacks a physical presence knob on its faceplate.

PRO TIPUse aggressive, rigid downstrokes right next to the bridge saddles to maximize the razor-sharp percussive pick attack characteristic of Dimebag's L-500XL pickup.
