Why these settings

Your EVH 5150 Iconic is the ideal amp for this tone—it shares DNA with the amp voicings that define modern metalcore. The Tube Screamer at zero drive tightens the low-end and adds mid-focus, which is standard practice for this genre. Keep gain at 7 rather than maxed; the TS boost pushes the front end hard enough. Your Jackson's ceramic humbuckers have the output and bite this tone demands—no compensation needed.

PRO TIPFor that chunky Guilt Trip palm-mute attack, pick directly over the bridge pickup with your palm firmly planted about 1cm from the saddles—too far back gets flubby, too far forward loses sustain. Downpick the chugs; alternate picking muddies the percussive impact.
