nobody amp settings — Marshall JCM800 2203
The avenged sevenfold guitar tone for “nobody”, dialed in for a Marshall JCM800 2203 with a Fender American Original 60s Stratocaster. Studio recording, Life Is But a Dream... (2023) — Virtuoso Lead Solo (4:30)
Schecter Synyster Gates Custom (high-output signature bridge humbucker) -> Fractal Audio Axe-Fx III / modded Marshall-style high-gain amp models -> studio analog compressors & tape/delay processing
| Knob | Setting (0–10) |
|---|---|
| Gain | 9 |
| Bass | 7 |
| Mid | 6 |
| Treble | 5 |
| Presence | 4 |
| Master | 4 |
01Ibanez Tube Screamer TS9
Tight boost into front input — amp remains the primary gain source
02Digital Delay
RECOMMENDED — not owned (run into studio chain/FX loop for solo depth)
The JCM800 2203 lacks the cascading preamp saturation of Synyster Gates' modern digital/modded rigs, so the amp preamp gain is pushed to 9 while your TS9 acts as an essential tight boost with high level and low drive. To compensate for your Stratocaster's lower-output, brighter single-coil bridge pickup versus Syn's thick ceramic humbucker, bass is brought up to 7, treble is dialed back to 5, and the guitar tone control is smoothed to 8. JCM800 faceplates feature Preamp Volume (gain), Master Volume, Treble, Middle, Bass, and Presence without onboard reverb.
