02Mustang LT25 built-in Graphic EQ
Post-amp EQ block — mimics Dime's Furman PQ-3 mid-scoop with 800Hz cut and upper-mid presence boost
The Mustang LT25's Metal 2000 model approximates high-gain solid-state voicing similar to Dime's Randalls. Your Jackson's humbuckers are hotter than a Dimebucker, so gain at 9 rather than 10 prevents mud. Mid at 3 creates the signature scoop without losing note definition — the built-in EQ block does the heavy lifting for that razor-wire 3kHz presence Dime achieved with his rack EQ. Treble at 7 compensates for the Mustang's darker voicing compared to Randall's ice-pick top end.
