Notes & Caveats
- No direct source provides exact amp or pedal settings for 'Clairvoyant Disease' solo; all settings estimated based on typical Synyster Gates gear for 'Waking the Fallen' era and genre conventions.
- No explicit mention of pedals or effects for this solo in available sources; effects inferred from audio and era.
- Pickup choice inferred from typical Synyster Gates lead tone and genre; no explicit source for pickup selector position.
- Amp model inferred from band interviews and known studio setups for 'Waking the Fallen'.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. The solo on 'Clairvoyant Disease' features a saturated but articulate high-gain tone typical of early 2000s Avenged Sevenfold, likely using a Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier with moderate bass for tightness, balanced mids (not scooped), and slightly boosted treble/presence for clarity. Reverb is minimal, as was common in their production at the time.
