Hi Chris!
I have bought your 6 and 7 strings Jackson guitars. Fantastic!! A little bit HEAVY, hehehe...
Some questions:
1) I know that you use regular tuning with megadeth ( I think the traditional sound of the band is the reason). But what's your favourite tunings expecially for 7 string guitar?
2) Which is the distance between pick up and strings do you use at the bridge on your Jackson in order to have the best sound?
3) You are Engl endorser but I see you use Fractal Axe on Marshall EL 34 100 WATT final when you play with Megadeth. How can you have similar sound with same attack and gain using Engl head (Powerball 2?). Do you use an overdrive befor entering in the head?
Thank you Chris!
 
I'm not Chris, but I'm pretty sure he's tuned to standard more often than not.

Also, I'm fairly certain the other 2 questions are highly subjective and depends on your playing more than anything.
