Why these settings

The MG30CFX's OD-2 channel provides the high-gain saturation needed to emulate the Bogner and Mesa blend without external dirt. Keep the mids around 5 to maintain articulation on the fast harmonized lines while boosting treble to 7 to replicate the cutting upper-mid bite of Synyster's Seymour Duncan Invader bridge pickup. Keep reverb fully off to preserve the dry, precise tracking of the studio recording.

PRO TIPAnchor your palm mute tightly against the bridge saddles and pick with a stiff 1.5mm+ pick angled slightly downward for the sharp percussive attack Synyster uses on the main galloping riffs.
