From The Wrong Side of Heaven and the Righteous Side of Hell, Volume 1 (2013). No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP E-II Eclipse through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the rig we use for Five Finger Death Punch's other songs from The Wrong Side of Heaven and the Righteous Side of Hell, Volume 1, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop A (A E A D F♯ B).

Can I play "Dot Your Eyes" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Dot Your Eyes" 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.
