Why these settings

The original used Bogner Uberschall which has tighter, more focused low-mids than Marshall. Your JVM's OD2 Orange mode gives the closest saturation character—it's smoother and more compressed than Green mode. Mid pushed to 7 compensates for the JVM's slightly more scooped default voicing versus Bogner. Presence lowered to 5 to avoid the JVM's tendency toward fizz at high gain. Engage the channel boost for the solo's singing sustain.

PRO TIPFor Synyster's liquid legato runs, back your tone knob to 8 to tame the Invader's aggressive treble spike—this keeps fast passages articulate without ice-pick harshness, especially on sweep arpeggios above the 12th fret.
