Why these settings

The Synergy Bogner Uberschall module has naturally massive sub-bass and a dark, sagging low-end compared to Joey Sturgis's razor-sharp Peavey 5150/6505 tracking setup. Keep the module's bass pegged around 5 and push presence and treble to 7 to inject the 5150 bite and attack. Since your Schecter uses a high-output active EMG Retro Active bridge pickup, keep amp gain around 6 to prevent the low-end breakdowns from turning into mush without an external overdrive tightening boost. Keep both ambient pedals bypassed during the rhythm tracks. Clean breakdown interlude: roll guitar volume back or switch to neck pickup, enable Dispatch Master with light mix.

PRO TIPJoey Sturgis tracked these rhythm parts with intense pick attack right next to the bridge and hard noise gating; dig in aggressively with an ultra-stiff plectrum (1.14mm+) and mute cleanly between staccato breakdown hits.
