Why these settings

The Peavey Studio Pro 112 Lead channel running TransTube technology provides the tight, modern crunch needed here, so leave the Big Muff bypassed since fuzz muds up fast metal downpicking. To compensate for single-coil Telecaster pickups vs Synyster Gates' ultra-hot Seymour Duncan Invaders, roll your guitar tone back slightly to tame high-end twang and boost the amp's mid and bass controls. Adding an overdrive pedal like a TS9 as a clean boost later will tighten the amp's low-end tracking even further.

PRO TIPAnchor your palm heavily right against the bridge saddles to get the razor-sharp, percussive chug of Synyster Gates' rhythm tracks without loose single-coil flub.
