Strength of the World amp settings — Orange Crush 12
The Avenged Sevenfold guitar tone for “Strength of the World”, dialed in for a Orange Crush 12 with a Ibanez GRX70QA. Studio version, City of Evil (2005) — main heavy rhythm riff
Schecter Synyster Gates Custom (Seymour Duncan Invader bridge) into Bogner Uberschall and 4x12 cab
| Knob | Setting (0–10) |
|---|---|
| Gain | 9 |
| Bass | 6 |
| Mid | 4 |
| Treble | 7 |
| Master | 6 |
01Boss CS-3 Compression Sustainer
Use in front of the amp to clamp down on initial pick transient and emulate the massive sustain of high-output Invader pickups into an Uberschall
02Overdrive / Tube Screamer (e.g. Ibanez TS9)
RECOMMENDED — not currently owned; tightens low-end flub on small practice amps
The Orange Crush 12 lacks presence and reverb knobs, so presence and reverb are omitted. Because the Bogner Uberschall carries intense cascaded tube saturation that an analog practice amp cannot fully replicate, the Crush 12's gain is pushed to 9 while keeping mids slightly pulled back at 4 to simulate the modern metal scoop without getting lost in the 6-inch speaker. Your Boss CS-3 is placed first with moderate sustain to tighten the attack and mimic the massive output compression of Synyster Gates' Seymour Duncan Invader pickup. Acoustic/classical intro: switch to neck pickup and roll guitar volume back to 2-3.
