    No problem! Fred's place is great, lots of cool things there. Hopefully he'll be on here one way or another soon enough

    I thought there was a custom with a hardtail, I literally googled "Synyster Gates Custom Hardtail" and the first link to come up was the standard with hardtail -_-

    If I find a used one for sale for the right price, I'd probably snag one with a hardtail just for the convenience and being able change tunings fast

    Thanks for all the great info! It would be awesome to ask him what amps and gear where used on COE. That guitar tone is so unique!

    CoE was a blend of mostly a Bogner Uberschall, a custom Bogner, and a Mesa Dual Rectifier. As for guitars, I think they had just gotten their Schecter endorsement, plus the producers already had some Schecters by then so I'm guessing it was largely Schecters plus whatever else they had laying around.

    Cool to know, I knew it couldnt have been just the bogner because there was a strange high mid thing going on in the mix that i could only replicate with a rectifier. How about the Self atitled Album? Im guessing just the Bogners and maybe a marshall jvm or 800

    Here's a write up I did about the amps used on each album, with some supporting documentation

    Synyster Gates Ideal Amp Settings

    Hello everyone, I'm here posting just the ideal amp settings for a typical A7x song ranging from gain, mid, treble, bass, presence, master volume, pedals, reverbs, eq graphics. Everything. If anyone has obtained an identical sound from any album whatsoever, I'd love to hear about it.
