From Five (2017). Five is the fifth studio album by American rap rock band Hollywood Undead. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an Ibanez RG1570 Prestige through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the rig we use for Hollywood Undead's other songs from Five, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop D.
Common Questions About the "Bang Bang" Tone
What guitar did Hollywood Undead use on "Bang Bang"?
The guitar on "Bang Bang" (released 2017) isn't documented; the Ibanez RG1570 Prestige above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. The track is in Drop D (D A D G B E), so retune before you dial anything in.
What amp settings does "Bang Bang" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 7.5, Bass 6, Mid 5.5, 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 "Bang Bang" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Bang Bang" 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.
