To achieve a tone similar to Synyster Gates' A7X sound, you may want to start with the following settings:
Green channel:
- Bass: 5-7
- Mid: 2-4
- Treble: 5-7
- Presence: 5-7
- Gain: 7-8
Red channel:
- Bass: 3-5
- Mid: 3-5
- Treble: 5-7
- Presence: 5-7
- Gain: 8-10
When using the Boss MT-2 pedal, set the tone control to around 12 o'clock and the level to taste. This should give you a good starting point for a heavy metal tone.
It's important to note that these settings are just a starting point, and you may need to tweak them to suit your own personal taste, playing style and the room you're playing in.
Keep in mind that the MX112 cab will also affect the sound,so you may need to play with the eq settings on the head and the pedal to achieve the sound you are looking for.
Also, keep in mind that the sound of the DSL15H head with the MX112 cab will be different than the sound that Synyster Gates gets with his rig. However, the settings above should help you achieve a similar overall tone.
