Notes

Studio recording for 'Hail to the King' (2013). Synyster Gates used his signature Schecter with high-output Invader bridge pickup into a Bogner Uberschall. No evidence of live/tour substitutions for the solo section. Effects are added via pedals, not amp-based. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for the solo section.
