Why these settings

The LT25's Metal 2000 model approximates the Rectifier-style saturation PTV uses. Your Jackson's humbuckers are hotter than Vic's Taylor SB1-X, so gain drops from the referenced 10 to 9 to prevent mud. Mids cut further to 3 (vs the 4 reference) because the Metal 2000 model has inherent mid-presence that the original Rectifier scoops harder.

PRO TIPFor the tight palm-muted chugs in the verses, anchor your picking hand firmly on the bridge saddles and pick directly over the pole pieces—this attack point gives the percussive 'chug' definition that separates PTV's rhythm tone from generic high-gain mush.
