The NUX MG-300's Recto model captures Synyster Gates' mid-2000s high-gain Mesa lead sound. The Cort X100 Powersound ceramic bridge humbucker has plenty of output to emulate the thick low-mid punch of an Invader, but mids are bumped to 7 on the amp block to preserve cut during sweeps and fast runs. The onboard TS drive block is dialed with minimal drive and high level to focus pick attack before hitting the amp model.
