Why these settings

The Peavey Vypyr 15w reaches this heavy Bogner Uberschall sound best via its onboard 'Rec' (Mesa Dual Rectifier) high-gain red amp model. Because the Squier Mini Strat has lower-output single coils compared to Synyster's ultra-hot Seymour Duncan Invader humbuckers, push the gain to 7 and bass to 7 to inject low-end body while pulling mids down to 4 for the album's signature scoop. As the Vypyr 15 has no physical presence control, dial treble to 7 to deliver the necessary pick attack and clarity.

PRO TIPPick hard right against the bridge saddles with heavy palm muting to compensate for the short scale and lower string tension of the Mini Strat, keeping riff chugs tight and focused.
