    Gear used on early A7X albums: The vault of Fred Archambault

    Here's the Bogner Uberschall amplifier they used back in the day. They still use an Uberschall in the studio to this day, just not the one pictured. This amp is a large part of their sound, and is blended in to some capacity on each album. This is a very early revision made by Reinhold Bogner...

    Gear used on early A7X albums: The vault of Fred Archambault

    Sorry that the pictures are so dark, the studio lighting is dim to create ambience. Here's an old Schecter Scorpion guitar the Syn used on the leads/solos on Waking the Fallen. This is before Avenged was officially with Schecter. Funny enough, the "Scorpion" shape became the "S-1" which...

    Gear used on early A7X albums: The vault of Fred Archambault

    Here's the Boss CS-3 Compressor pedal that Syn used mostly on leads/solos. Not sure if those are his settings marked or not. Guitar leads are very dynamic, so a compressor will help tame those dynamics. Syn also partially used this as a "boost" to add extra input signal into his amplifier to...

    Gear used on early A7X albums: The vault of Fred Archambault

    We had some students on here that were interested in seeing some actual pieces of gear that Avenged Sevenfold used on some of their albums. I paid a visit to their longtime friend/engineer/producer Fred Archambault and he showed me some gear that he still had that was used by them. Fred worked...

    Feeling bummed

    I feel this, man. I'm from a small town as well. I had to move to the city to find people, and even then a lot of people wasted my time and weren't serious. Go to where the work (maybe move to a more populated and musical city when you can) and know what you have to offer. Learn how to identify...

    Costa Mesa Studios (where A7X records) put up a new picture. Anybody notice that gold pedal in the left corner and the amps in the upper right?

    While we’re on this topic, you have some really interesting one-offs and prototypes. I’ve been lucky enough to see a few. I’m sure the students would like to see some *hint hint* I’ve bought enough secondhand gear online to know to thoroughly check the pictures lol I really appreciate the kind...

    Quality Low Budget Acoustic Amp

    I don't have much experience with any acoustic amps, aside from an acoustic amp from an Epiphone starter kit in middle school lol. Here's a write up from Sweetwater about acoustic amps. I would've recommended the Fishman, but it's a bit hefty in price. The only 2 around the $200 price range is...

    Fake Synyster Gates guitar EXAMPLE

    Definitely very convincing at first haha I remember those mini ones too lol. You’d search “Synyster Gates Guitar” and there’d be a listing for like $60 and you’d get all excited, only to realize it’s a mini replica.

    No problem!

    Fake Synyster Gates guitar EXAMPLE

    Yeah idk how he has that string in lol. I think he sold it by now. Idk about the Diamond series thing, they might’ve put that on a prototype depending on where it was made and how serious they were about putting it out, but who knows. I noticed the tree angle thing too, but I figured that...

    I didn’t even notice that. Interesting choice for him to have it there

    Fake Synyster Gates guitar EXAMPLE

    This had to have been done in a Chinese factory, I doubt it was a sole person that made it. I’ve seen worse fakes than this though lol

    Fake Synyster Gates guitar EXAMPLE

    That’s a good indicator too, I didn’t even look at that. All these small details are adding up. Schecter wouldn’t have let something like that out of the factory. Maybe if they did, it woulda been sold as B-Stock He can’t be trusted any longer

    Fake Synyster Gates guitar EXAMPLE

    Agreed. I had mentioned the backplate thing briefly, but something like that coulda also been switched out, assuming it was real. I noticed the truss rod cover as well, but I figured if this were a prototype, it wouldn't be *too* weird to have a different one. I do see what you mean about the...
