Why these settings

The Stage Right C11800 is a budget solid-state amp with less midrange complexity than the Bogner Uberschall. Push mids to 7 to compensate for the flatter voicing — the original tone was defined by cranked mids with reduced bass. Your BC Rich Revenge likely has high-output humbuckers similar to the Invaders, so gain at 7 will get you in the ballpark. Without a compressor or boost pedal, your lead tone will lack the sustain and tightness of the original — a basic TS-style pedal running as a clean boost would close 60% of that gap.

PRO TIPPick closer to the bridge with a firm attack angle to replicate Gates' aggressive articulation — the Uberschall's tight response was partly achieved through picking dynamics, not just gain.
