From Murder the Mountains (2011). Murder the Mountains is the second studio album by American stoner metal band Red Fang, released on 12 April 2011 by Relapse Records. The album's personnel list credits Maurice Bryan Giles, David Sullivan and Anita Robinson with guitars. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson SG Standard through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Red Fang's other songs from Murder the Mountains, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.

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