Ahh, B.S. I could get "Enter Sandman" with my Peavey TransTube Studio 112 and my Strat Neck Pacer. Tune it down, scoop it a bit...it is all in the EQ.

Tune what down? Enter Sandman is standard tuning. [img]/images/graemlins/poke.gif[/img] Not to mention the fact that EMG pickups would really help... 81/81 like Kirk (James used to use that setup, too) or an 81/60.

I wish it were so easy Mike.

For FWTBT you'd need a modded JCM 800 horizontal input with a tubescreamer in front and an EQ in the loop.

Re: Metallica\'s sound

i can get the basic sound from the Load album with my rivera's. i like the tones off that album the best. kinda bluesy, kinda classic rockish, but still heavy. a lot of meat in their sound on that album.

racer x i used to have the same rig as the ADA mp1 through the peavey power amp. GREAT sounds in that rig!!! [img]/images/graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

I like the tone on And Justice for All. That is all.

The tab had it tuned down either a half step or a step..I don't recall. I know that I tuned it down, EQ'd my shitty little amp and produced 95% of the same tone. It wasn't perfect, but it was enough to impress a 15 year old who listened to the album ad infinitum.

Re: Metallica\'s sound

That's strange you've seen the tab tuned down. [img]/images/graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img] It is in standard tuning... I remember learning it that way and playing along.
I've even got the tab book for that album, and it is indeed tuned to standard.
Sad But True is a step down. Don't Tread On Me is 1/2-step down, The God That Failed is 1/2-step down, everything else on the album is tuned to standard.

Re: Metallica\'s sound

Maybe I was playing Sad but True...I did learn them both to teach her. It was 5 years ago and I don't do Metallica stuff too often. If you have the book, I am sure that you are correct and my memory is fogged by too many Martinis. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

I stand corrected!!! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

I heard for the black album they used Mesa IV's for a preamp running into the 295's for output.
