From Red Fang (2009). Red Fang is the first album by American stoner metal band Red Fang, released in 2009 on the Sargent House record label. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '50s through an Orange Rockerverb 50 MkIII, the rig we use for Red Fang's other songs from Red Fang, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

Can I play "Good to Die" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Good to Die" 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.
