Notes & Caveats
- Gain adjusted to 0 for clean tone
- No direct source gives exact amp or pedal settings for the clean section of 'Gone Away' by Five Finger Death Punch.
- Settings estimated based on typical Kemper/EVH 5150III clean profiles and genre/era conventions.
- No evidence of chorus, delay, or modulation effects in the clean section; only subtle reverb is audible.
- Pedal/effect chain is inferred; no studio photos or interviews specify pedals for this clean part.
- All gear is confirmed for the band and era, but not explicitly tied to this exact song section.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Five Finger Death Punch's 'Gone Away' riff uses a modern, tight, high-gain metal tone with controlled low end, slightly scooped but present mids, and clear, aggressive highs. The band favors dry, articulate tones with minimal reverb, and these settings reflect both their typical amp choices (Peavey 6505/EVH 5150) and the genre's production standards.
