Let’s build a preset from scratch that will get you 90% of the way to Nightmare or Carry On . We will use only stock AmpliTube 5 models (no paid expansions required, though we will note where expansions help).

To replicate Synyster Gates’ specific response, start with these baseline parameters and adjust based on your guitar's pickups: Value (approx.) 7.0 – 8.5 High saturation without losing note definition.
