Why these settings

Your Schecter Synyster Standard with high-output bridge humbuckers naturally delivers the hot, fat signal characteristic of Synyster Gates' tone into your Triple Rectifier. On Channel 3 Modern mode, keep the bass dialed to 6 and the mid around 5 to avoid flubby low-end while maintaining cutting definition for the dual-guitar harmonies. Set Rectification to Silicon Diode and Power to Bold on the back panel for the fastest transient response.

PRO TIPFor the fast alternate-picked and sweeping runs in the solo, use an ultra-rigid heavy pick (1.5mm+) and dig in close to the bridge for maximum bite and harmonic squeal.
