Common Questions About the "Radiant Eclipse" Tone
What guitar did Avenged Sevenfold use on "Radiant Eclipse"?
The guitar on "Radiant Eclipse" (released 2003) isn't documented; the Schecter Synyster Custom-S above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.

Settings for this sound: Gain 8, Bass 6.5, Mid 6, Treble 6.5, Presence 6.5, Volume 7.5. 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 "Radiant Eclipse" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Radiant Eclipse" 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.
