Notes & Caveats
- Exact pedal models for delay and reverb not confirmed for this solo; delay is clearly audible in the solo section and is standard for Synyster Gates' lead tones.
- Presence and reverb settings are estimated based on typical Bogner Uberschall usage and genre/era norms.
- Pickup model may be Synyster Gates Signature Seymour Duncan if recorded post-2013, but SH-8/Invader is also possible per era.
- No explicit studio notes for effects chain; pedal choices based on typical Synyster Gates rig and audible effects.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Synyster Gates typically uses a high-gain, articulate lead tone with moderate bass and mids, slightly boosted treble and presence for clarity, and minimal reverb for tightness. The solo in 'Lost It All' is modern, saturated, and cutting, consistent with these settings and Avenged Sevenfold's post-2010 production style.
