01Gate / Noise Suppressor block
Placed first in NUX signal chain to silence high-gain stops
02TS9 / Tube Drive block

Post-amp block, set to ~420ms dotted-eighth or quarter note lead delay
Synyster used his signature James Brown-designed Schecter Hellwin on high gain with hot Invader pickups. On the NUX MG-30, loading the SLO 100 Lead or Fireman HBE block gives that exact modern EL34/6L6 hybrid crunch; pushing the mids to 7 compensates for the BC Rich stock pickups and brings out the vocal sweep-picking cut. The TS block in front with zero drive and high level replicates the tight, tracking attack of his rack setup.
