01OD/DS Block (T-SCREAM / Tube Screamer)
Used as a clean boost in front of the amp to tighten low-end tracking for fast palm mutes
02NS (Noise Suppressor Block)
Essential to clamp high-gain hiss during staccato riffing
The Schecter C-1 Hellraiser with active EMG pickups provides massive output and natural compression close to Synyster's high-output Invaders, so keep the UBER amp model gain at 7 rather than maxing it. The T-Scream block with zero drive and high level acts strictly as an input filter to cut sub-bass mud and push the upper-mid attack before the amp stage. High presence and boosted mids ensure aggressive cut through dense double-tracked rhythms.
