Why these settings

The Boss GT-100's BG LEAD amp block accurately recreates the Bogner Uberschall used on the self-titled album. Using the internal Screamer block as a pure level boost with zero drive cuts excessive sub-bass rumble and adds the trademark upper-mid bite of Synyster Gates' high-output bridge pickups. Keep Reverb at 0 to maintain sharp, staccato articulation during the rhythm chugs.

PRO TIPUse heavy, consistent down-picking near the bridge with your palm muting clamped tight right against the saddles to get that percussive, razor-sharp attack.
