Why these settings

The Frontman 20G solid-state drive channel lacks the low-end headroom of Synyster Gates's Bogner and Marshall tube rigs, so pushing gain past 7 introduces fizzy solid-state clipping rather than tight chunk. Keep the amp's mids at 6 and bass at 5 to maintain articulation through the 8-inch speaker without flubbing out. If you add a dedicated high-gain distortion pedal later, switch the amp to the Clean channel and drop gain to 2.

PRO TIPSynyster Gates relies on aggressive palm-muting right against the bridge saddles with a stiff 1.5mm+ pick to keep fast galloping rhythms tight and percussive.
