01Tube Screamer (TS9 / Overdrive)
RECOMMENDED — not currently owned; essential for tightening the low-end flub on modern metalcore chugs

FX loop — bypass for dry main rhythm riff; engage Mix 4 / Reverb 5 on post-chorus ambient octave leads
03Matthews Effects The Cosmonaut V2
FX loop — bypassed for main rhythm tone
The Schecter Sun Valley Super Shredder's hot bridge humbucker delivers the necessary output and immediate transient attack of the original EMG 81s. On your Synergy SYN-20IR high-gain module, keep the preamp gain around 7 to preserve articulation through rapid staccato picking without oversaturating into mush. A Tube Screamer style boost out front with drive at 0 is recommended to tighten sub-bass resonance, but running the amp gain and presence high achieves the aggressive top-end cut natively. Clean verse: switch to Channel 1 clean and blend in Dispatch Master reverb.
