Recording notes

From The Way of the Fist (2007). The Way of the Fist is the debut studio album by the American heavy metal band Five Finger Death Punch, released on 31 July 2007. 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 Way of the Fist, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.

Common Questions About the "The Devil's Own" Tone

  1. What guitar did Five Finger Death Punch use on "The Devil's Own"?

    The guitar on "The Devil's Own" (released 2007) isn't documented; the ESP E-II Eclipse above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.

  2. What amp settings does "The Devil's Own" need?

    Settings for this sound: Gain 7, Bass 6, Mid 6, Treble 6.5, Presence 6, Volume 6.5. 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.

  3. Can I play "The Devil's Own" without the original gear?

    Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "The Devil's Own" 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.
