Members tiltsta Posted February 10, 2011 Members Share Posted February 10, 2011 Which James Hetfield sound? I would guess you dime all the knobs on that JCM800 with that maxxon, the cut the mid control to about 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members robbdeman Posted February 10, 2011 Members Share Posted February 10, 2011 The best way to get the "james Hetfield" sound is drink and smoke while doing a few drugs for oh 30+ years then clean up and put out a 3 - 4 horribly mixed albums (give or take) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members cratz2 Posted February 10, 2011 Members Share Posted February 10, 2011 I'm guessing JCM800, Bass on 5, Treble on 8, Mids on 3, bridge pickup with the volume and tone on the guitar rolled down to about 7 or 8... just enough to take fizz off. Of course, it's been about 12 or 13 years since I plugged into my JCM800 though and mine was a combo with an G12H65. This should get you pretty close, but it's even better if you have a short-ass drummer with a teeny tiny dick. Hey... it's what I heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GilmourD Posted February 10, 2011 Members Share Posted February 10, 2011 mids around 1 wt bout bass and treb Does your keyboard have all the keys? To actually answer your question, though, Poppa Het's classic tones are from a Mesa-Boogie Mark IIc+ with the mids scooped big time. Then all his guitars are equipped with an EMG 81 in the bridge and an EMG 60 in the neck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members cratz2 Posted February 11, 2011 Members Share Posted February 11, 2011 Yeah... they definitely started using Boogies after Ride The Lightning... my suggestion of the 800 was based on the OP having an 800 and an Orange Rockerverb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members StevenJM Posted February 11, 2011 Members Share Posted February 11, 2011 i would think you could get a pretty decent early metallica tone with that jcm 800. like kill 'em all, ride the lightning kind of tones. turn the pre amp up, bass and treble up, like someone said, put the mids around 1 or 2 did i read in an earlier post that you put EMG's in your goth explorer? that'll help. as far as current tones, i don't think you'll get it without putting out tons of dollars... i think he uses a diezel head (not sure but i think those run between 4 and 5 grand) along with tons of rack stuff. i think theres a gear list on metallica's website too...
