Evanescence - My Immortal - Guitar Lesson

Gibson Les Paul Standard

Ben Moody's weapon of choice on 'Fallen,' the Les Paul Standard delivers warm, fat PAF-style humbucker tones that anchor Evanescence's gothic metal foundation without excessive compression.

Gibson Les Paul Custom

The Custom variant provided Ben Moody with the same thick, sustained character as the Standard while offering additional tonal flexibility for both heavy riffs and cleaner atmospheric passages throughout the band's early era.

PRS Custom 24

Troy McLawhorn's PRS Custom 24 brings articulate midrange bite to Evanescence's later recordings, cutting through the mix on lead passages while maintaining the signature humbucker warmth in drop-tuned rhythms.

Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier

This amp head generates the scooped, modern-metal distortion defining tracks like 'Bring Me to Life,' delivering tight low-end response critical for keeping palm-muted chugs clean rather than muddy in drop tunings.

Seymour Duncan JB

The high-output JB in the bridge position tightens low-end response for heavier Evanescence material, ensuring palm-muted drops stay defined and articulate without sacrificing the fat humbucker character Amy Lee's vocals sit against.

Boss DD-3 Digital Delay

This digital delay creates the spacious, gothic ambiance on Evanescence's clean passages and lead sections, layering ethereal repeats that complement the band's haunting atmospheric arrangements.
