01NUX MG-300 EFX Block (TS9 / Tube Screamer OD)
Used as a clean boost to tighten low-end and add sustain
02NUX MG-300 DLY Block (Analog Delay)
Set delay time to ~380ms (quarter note around 80 BPM)
The Cort X100 humbuckers are relatively bright and ceramic, so selecting the neck pickup and rolling the tone knob down to 8 rounds off harshness and matches Synyster Gates' thick, fluid lead attack. On the NUX MG-300, the Recto amp model delivers the core saturation while the TS9 block acts as a tight mid-boost in front without adding unwanted muddy gain. Analog delay provides the essential 80s/early-2000s power ballad lead space. Rhythm crunch clean-up: roll guitar volume down to 6 and switch to bridge pickup.
