From Prowler in the Yard (2001). Prowler in the Yard is the second studio album by American grindcore band Pig Destroyer. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an Ibanez RG8 through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the rig we use for Pig Destroyer's other songs from Prowler in the Yard, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.

The guitar on "Junkyard God" (released 2001) isn't documented; the Ibanez RG8 above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.

Settings for this sound: Gain 8, Bass 7, Mid 5, Treble 5, Presence 5, Volume 9. 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 "Junkyard God" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Junkyard God" 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.
