    IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

    Will, the existing threads on here be archive? There’s some pretty unique and valuable insight on here. It would be a real shame to lose it all. Threads about gear the band has used in the studio, etc..

    Guitar Nobody Synth - Fractal Preset

    Only about 10 minutes. I was listening to the latest Trax podcast and they played the isolated guitar track between segments, and I immediately knew what I was hearing - only because I’ve been watching a bunch of videos on making EDM lately.

    Guitar Nobody Synth - Fractal Preset

    I made a preset for Syn’s synth guitar on Nobody :). It’s for Fractal products like the Axe FX. Read the thread linked below for the preset and more info. You could totally make this sound in your DAW too, or anything that can do saw synth waves...

    I (sorta) made a FREE Hellwin amp software

    Well done, thanks so much for this! I sooo desperately want Fractal Audio to add this amp to the Axe FX. That custom Bogner too 👀

    Trax by Avenged Sevenfold Podcast

    Listening to the host always feels like I'm on the phone with English Dave from GTA 5 Online :ROFLMAO:

    The REAL Key to A7X Tone

    Yeah, I couldn’t tell you what V30 exactly, but I’m pretty confident it’s all V30s they’ve recorded with. They’ve used Mesa and Bogner cabs for almost everything, which virtually always have V30s in them - Waking the Fallen, City of Evil, Self Titled. I’m not sure if they used the Deizel cab...

    The REAL Key to A7X Tone

    Short answer: The cheap SM57 microphone is the major key to unlocking some of Avenged Sevenfold’s iconic tone. Hey folks, I just want to share a quick bit about the awesome album tone A7X manages to achieve. For context, I’ve been researching the band and chasing a sound similar to them since...

    Videos still not working

    I was going through the CAGED system videos the other day and the tabs don’t work on them. Just frozen.

    Syn 2018, hoping 2023!

    Love the photos! I agree, sad that there isn’t a meet and greet option in the ticket sales for North America so far.

    Suggestion Tab Book Correction

    That would be super cool! I just hope that at some point there is some clarity on how these parts are played.

    "Nobody" from the new album "Life is but a Dream"

    My initial thoughts: I totally hear the hip hop influence. Anyone else getting a Zeppelin vibe too, or is that just me? I don't hear any guitars in the rhythm section of this song, unless its just Syn using the synth block on the Axe FX - that would be really cool! It's a totally underutilized...

    Reading on Albert Camus

    For those looking for an interesting analysis of Albert Camus, and existential philosophy in general, you should check out the book (or listen to the audio version) The God Who is There by Francis Schaeffer. For those who have read The Plague, this is one of my favorite excerpts from...

    Suggestion Tab Book Correction

    Many parts of the official A7X tab books are totally incorrect. It would be really cools if Syn, Papa, or someone else with the knowledge, could do a series of videos/posts on the proper way to play the incorrect sections. Or maybe even updated books. For example: The Beast and the Harlot...

    Guitar A7X Dexter Amp?

    Totally! I think another big thing is that once you understand how the sounds you like are formed - especially for younger fans who are just starting out and don’t have a lot of money - you realize that you don’t actually have to go out and blow thousands of dollars on gear to achieve what you...

    Guitar A7X Dexter Amp?

    Hey @Awex Came thanks for the info! I’ve seen the Green Day amp, but I didn’t think that could possibly be it - hilarious! That’s pretty cool about the Bogner amp too - I was wondering what on earth it was all taped up for. Man, I just want to say how much I really appreciate your input on...

    Guitar A7X Dexter Amp?

    What exactly is the “Dexter” amp Avenged Sevenfold used on Hail to the King? In the Breakdown video for Shepherd of Fire (see below), a couple of the guitar tracks are labeled “Dexter” as mentioned by Shadows. This sound is used throughout the album. I’ve heard an isolated track of it, and it...
