From Paradise Lost (2007). Paradise Lost is a studio album by the American progressive metal band Symphony X, released on 26 June 2007 by Inside Out Music. The album's personnel list credits Michael Romeo with guitar. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Caparison Apple Horn 6 through an Engl Powerball II, the rig we use for Symphony X's other songs from Paradise Lost, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in D standard (D G C F A D), a whole step below standard.
