Notes

Live performance, circa 2008-2010; Synyster Gates is seen using his signature Schecter with Invader pickups and a Marshall JVM410H head for live shows. Settings are estimated based on typical JVM410H metal tones and genre/era. No explicit pedalboard for this exact live solo, but effects are inferred from live audio and artist's known rig.
