Why these settings

The Cort EVL X-6 has hot active/high-output passive EMG-style humbuckers, providing the intense front-end punch of Synyster Gates' Seymour Duncan Invaders. On the NUX MG-50Li, selecting the Bogner Uberschall model with the TS9 boost block cuts excess sub-bass and pushes upper-mid bite around 2.5kHz to emulate the tight Dual Rectifier/Uberschall studio blend. Keep the amp block's mids up at 6 to prevent the scooped tone from getting lost in a mix.

PRO TIPSynyster Gates picks with aggressive downward attack close to the bridge using a heavy 1.5mm to 2.0mm plectrum; pick firmly near the saddles to get the razor-sharp string definition on the fast gallops and double-stops.
