Why these settings

The Fender Mustang LT25 lacks physical mid and presence knobs on its panel, so select the high-gain 'Metal 2000' model to capture the JCM2000 crunch and bite. Pushing treble to 7 compensates for the warm passive humbuckers in the LTD EC-256 while keeping the bass tight at 5 to prevent modern drop-D low-end mud. The onboard TS-style boost tightens the low-end attack exactly like the original studio chain.

PRO TIPUse aggressive, sharp alternate picking right near the bridge saddles with a stiff 1.0mm+ pick to replicate Jerry Horton's percussive attack on the fast single-note riff.
