Studio recording, 2005. Synyster Gates used his signature Schecter with Seymour Duncan Invader bridge pickup for the solo, plugged into a Bogner Uberschall amp. Some sources mention a Dimebucker in the bridge, visible in the Bat Country music video, but most studio references point to the Invader. Effects and settings are based on studio context, not live.
