Why these settings

The Mustang LT25's 'Metal 2000' model approximates the tight, scooped Randall solid-state character. Mids dropped to 3 to replicate Dime's signature scoop. Your Firefly LP's humbuckers are hotter than Dime's L-500XL, so gain stays at 8 rather than the original's 8.5 — the extra pickup output compensates. Treble pushed to 8 for that cutting lead clarity.

PRO TIPFor Dime's singing sustain on the slow bends, use your neck pickup's magnetic pull — position your fretting hand closer to the 12th fret and apply heavy vibrato from the wrist, not fingers. The Randall's tight response rewards precise pick attack on each note.
