01OVERDRIVE
Onboard stomp block used as a clean boost to tighten low-end tracking for fast palm mutes
The original track uses an EVH 5150 III pushed with an overdrive boost to stay tight in drop/D-standard tuning. The Mustang's METAL 2000 model captures that exact 5150 voice, so keep the amp gain moderate at 6 while the onboard OVERDRIVE block trims loose sub-bass. Your Harley Benton active humbuckers hit the input hard, so keeping gain around 6 prevents the 8-inch practice speaker from mushing out. Middle has no knob on the LT25: press the encoder to open the preset, press it again on the amp model, then select MIDDLE on the display and turn the encoder.
