Why these settings

The Metal 2000 model on the LT25 approximates the JCM2000 DSL's midrange bite combined with high gain. Mids at 4 gives that slight scoop characteristic of the debut album's raw tone. Your Jackson's humbuckers are hotter than the Les Paul Studio's, so gain stays at 7 rather than cranking it. Reverb is 0 — this album is bone dry.

PRO TIPPalm-mute harder than you think and let the open power chords ring with authority — the contrast between tight chugs and sustained chords is what makes early TDG riffs hit. Roll your tone knob to 8 to tame the Jackson's bridge pickup brightness without losing attack.
