From And Justice for None (2018). And Justice for None is the seventh studio album by American heavy metal band Five Finger Death Punch. 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 And Justice for None, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
Common Questions About the "Top of the World" Tone
What guitar did Five Finger Death Punch use on "Top of the World"?
The guitar on "Top of the World" (released 2018) isn't documented; the ESP E-II Eclipse above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.
What amp settings does "Top of the World" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 6.5, Bass 6, Mid 6, Treble 6.5, Presence 6, Volume 7. 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 "Top of the World" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Top of the World" 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.
