Why these settings

The Donner Arena 2000's US 5150 LD model delivers the tight, saturated core of Synyster's Axe-Fx III patch. Your Ibanez RG421 Quantum passive humbuckers are slightly lower in output than Synyster's signature ceramic pickups, so running the onboard TS overdrive block with Drive at 0 and Level high boosts front-end bite without adding muddy gain. Keep mid set high at 7 to recreate the articulate note separation required for the blazing arpeggio sequences. For the clean interlude passages, toggle the TS block off and switch to the neck pickup with volume dialed down to 6.

PRO TIPSynyster's machine-like precision on the sweeps comes from aggressive palm muting right on the bridge saddles paired with using the rigid edge of a heavy gauge pick angled at 45 degrees.
