    "From one of the top guitarists of a generation, Synyster Gates of Avenged Sevenfold, comes a bold new way to make your music, your way. Beautiful. Brutiful. Uncompromising. An all new state of the art platform amp and pedal series like nothing you've ever heard, at a price you can afford. Ampy...

    Slipping tuner

    If it's truly slipping on the tuner, more wraps on the tuner will increase stability. The G string is notorious for presenting tuning problems across many different guitars, though. Unless the guitar has a Floyd Rose bridge and locking nut, you may benefit from some graphite or nutsauce in the...

    He's shared screen grabs of the suggestions on his IG story, so I would bet real money that he has seen and been watching ALL of that. (Yes, he does manage his own IG)

    Only those who were legendary members could submit recommendations in that Legendary thread. If you look through the announcement thread, there are several times Admins point out that this is NOT a place to make submissions. Sorry.

    Building guitar

    The routing for the cavity is pretty precise, but drilling and prepping the two mounting holes has to be machine-precise, or it will never play right.

    Soundtracks that influenced you!

    Lord of the Rings. No soundtrack before or since has done more for me as a listener. It is an absolute masterpiece.

    Building guitar

    That's really going to depend on the tools you have, and how good you are with them. If you don't have professional-grade woodworking tools, years of experience, and a solid router (and no, I don't mean for Wifi), you are likely to wind up with firewood. I've never done it, but I also know I...

    Cool pickups

    Did you watch the video? It's not an "acoustic pickup," per se. It's for isolating the sound of one or two strings ONLY. Interesting idea, and I could see someone using that to go to a separate amp, maybe with a bass octaver on it, or something.

    Hi im miko, i had problem with video

    In every case of this we've seen, especially from Indo and other nearby or related countries, it's been a local licensing issue, meaning you have to load the site through a properly configured VPN. If you're unable to figure it out, I'll see if I can find another member from Indonesia who has...

    Favourite song and album from a7x?

    Favorite album is VERY close between The Stage, City of Evil, and Nightmare - probably in that order. Favorite song right now might be Paradigm, but Save Me and Victim are not usually far behind.

    A big part of Syn's lead tone is...

    The "Guitar Hero version" of Death Magnetic can still be found online, if you own a copy of the album. Just look for "death magnetic moderus." It is a massive improvement in listenability. They were actually TRYING to get that digital saturation, because it was kind of a thing in pop mastering...

    A big part of Syn's lead tone is...

    It should also be noted that any time a high-gain tone is used, there's a lot of natural compression involved in making it that way, so an external compressor added on top can be even harder to hear and "tune."

    Custom Bogner Amp used on CoE, Self Titled, and more AMA

    Dude, who did you blow to get all this goodness??? Great story, by the way. Vol 3 is one of my favorite records, and probably the only Slipknot record I like front to back.

    Papa Gates' Schecter Hellwin Amp AMA

    It is a genuine amp. I think a combo, but I think there was something else that made it a little more versatile than a basic 1-piece combo - memory is sketch on that. Not sure it's tube or valve, but Syn has referred to it as a "platform amp," meaning an all-clean amp meant for sculpting tone...

    Advanced Negative to Positive

    Exactly. THERAPY, not psychiatry. Processing what's in your head instead of suppressing it artificially. There are many people who need such medications, but unless one is suicidal, it's better to try cognitive therapy first.

    Now, if that piques anyone's interest in the Kustom Double Cross, Reverb... Not expensive at all, either. https://reverb.com/item/1740938-kustom-double-cross-100w-tube-guitar-amp-head-black-with-foot-switch
