Why these settings

The METAL 2000 model captures the aggressive, modern high-gain character of the Bogner Uberschall with tight low-end tracking. Running the onboard MYTH DRIVE block with low gain and high level replicates the MXR clean boost pushing the preamp into fluid lead sustain without adding mud. The Jackson JS22 stock ceramic humbuckers are bright, so mids are kept at 6 and bass at 5 to maintain full body on high-register solo runs. Middle has no knob on the LT25: press the encoder to open the preset, press it again on the amp model, then select MIDDLE on the display and turn the encoder.

PRO TIPSynyster Gates uses an aggressive, angled pick attack near the bridge pickup with heavy vibrato to achieve that signature vocal-like lead articulation.
