From Diamonds in the Rough (2008). Diamonds in the Rough is a compilation of B-sides and rarities by American heavy metal band Avenged Sevenfold, released on September 16, 2008 by Warner Bros. alongside the live DVD Live in the LBC. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Schecter Synyster Custom-S through a Bogner Ecstasy 101B, the rig we use for Avenged Sevenfold's other songs from Diamonds in the Rough, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop D.

The guitar on "Lost It All" (released 2008) isn't documented; the Schecter Synyster Custom-S above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. The track is in Drop D (D A D G B E), so retune before you dial anything in.

Settings for this sound: Gain 7.5, Bass 5.5, Mid 6, Treble 7, Presence 6.5, Volume 7. Each value is on the standard 0–10 amp scale; match them on your amp first, then nudge to taste. ToneMirror can translate these positions for whatever amp you actually own.
Can I play "Lost It All" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Lost It All" tone on a Katana, a Helix, a tube combo, or anything else. The translation accounts for EQ curve, gain structure, and pickup type so the result actually sounds like the record, not just the same knob numbers on different gear.
