Avenged Sevenfold Amp Settings & Guitar Tone
Featured Tone
Hail to the King (2013)
Schecter Synyster Gates Custom-S → Schecter Hellwin USA 100W
Thick, crushing high-gain tone with a classic heavy metal character. More old-school and less progressive than earlier A7X albums. The Hellwin amp delivers a tight, focused distortion with clear note separation and a pronounced midrange bark. Less fizzy than the Bogner-era tone, with a more direct, in-your-face quality.
