Afterlife amp settings — Marshall Code 50
The Avenged Sevenfold guitar tone for “Afterlife”, dialed in for a Marshall Code 50 with a Schecter Synyster Standard. Studio version, Avenged Sevenfold (self-titled, 2007)
Bogner Uberschall Rev Blue & Marshall JVM / JCM800 blend, Schecter Synyster Custom with Seymour Duncan Invader humbuckers
| Knob | Setting (0–10) |
|---|---|

| Bass | 6 |
| Mid | 6 |
| Treble | 7 |
| Reverb | 0 |
| Master | 4 |
The Code 50 replicates the modern British high-gain Synyster used on Afterlife via the JVM410 OD preamp model and 1960V cab. Treble and mids are pushed slightly to balance the naturally dark, high-output Duncan Designed humbuckers in your Synyster Standard without turning muddy. The Code 50 physical panel lacks a presence knob, so power-amp presence must be left at default or shaped via the treble control.
