From Ascendancy (2005). Ascendancy is the second studio album by American heavy metal band Trivium. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Peavey 6505+, the rig we use for Trivium's other songs from Ascendancy, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
Common Questions About the "The End of Everything" Tone
What guitar did Trivium use on "The End of Everything"?
The guitar on "The End of Everything" (released 2005) isn't documented; the Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.
What amp settings does "The End of Everything" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 8, Bass 6, Mid 5.5, Treble 6.5, Presence 6.5, 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 "The End of Everything" 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 End of Everything" 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.
