I keep reading it's all sorts of stuff. 5150 by some accounts. Marshall 6100 by others. I know they used the "Frankencab" which was two Marshall cabs gaffer taped together and then some Marshall Mini Stack blended in.

So if I want a slightly chunkier, louder JB, then the Aldrich doesn't get your seal of approval?

For me, the apex of 90's Extreme Metal tone is Carcass - Heartwork. That sizzle. That chunk. Perfect.

I think that record has an underrated tone. I get it, it's kinda like their Black Album. But the tones (and music) rule, IMO.

I have the plain old new production JB in my Les Paul. I like it, but I like the Antiquity JB in my LTD better, honestly. The LTD is fatter acoustically, and the Antiquity is a bit smoother (and overall more interesting, TBH), so by comparison, the Les Paul, which is naturally bright with the...

I long sold my Klon-types. They're great, don't get me wrong, but I found the amps that I like (5150 and Recto) get along better with Tube Screamer types. Out of the two that I had, the Archer and the Zeus, I liked the cheapie Zeus better, to be honest.

I liked 1 the best. It seemed the most up-front and with the most bite. I wanted to say 3, but it has something going on in the mids that I don't quite love. Straight cab kinda mids.

The Full Shred Neck shouldn't be hotter than the Jazz Neck. They're allegedly the same coils and same magnet, only difference is the polepieces. So if the Jazz balances, so should the FS-N.

That's awesome, but please post a phone clip playing some Metallica riffs for an in-the-room feel! J/K. Please don't. On a serious notes, man, what a killer amp.

For sure. But I still feel, even with a bass, the palm-mutes could punch a little harder. For my taste, of course. But hey, each to his own. Nowadays, everyone is a critic, right?

I missed the context of this clip, but I think a little more low-end would've sounded a bit better. The tone does have a killer attack, though.

I'm just glad he didn't play any Metallica on that vid. Thank God.

I remember I once brought my Marshall cab with V30's and H-75's to band practice, and we plugged my guitarist's Rockeverb to both my cab and his. His cab is loaded with T-75's and Creamback M-65's, and we had to check that his cab was plugged in at first because we couldn't hear it over my cab, LOL.

I used to hate Strats until I got one and got carried away modding it, LOL. My recommendation is to find a good deal on a used Strat, and then mod it to what you need. My biggest gripe with stock Strats is that their HSS pickguards are cut with the hole for the bridge pickup way too far away...

I hadn't thought of it that way, but kinda, haha. But his comparison samples... all sounded OK to me, LOL. It's not like I thought, "man, that Painkiller sounded like pure mud", personally. Or "man, that 5150 totally doesn't like that JB". It is what it is. It's not like there aren't many...

I also personally really like the Fishman Fluence Classics in PAF mode as well as the DiMarzio PAF Pro. And the Gibson Burstbucker Pro. What I don't like, personally, is the underwound type of PAF-types. Like. 7K-ish for the bridge, I mean. I feel they start getting too single coil-y and wimpy...

I was watching his vid yesterday, but I don't remember the exact wording he used. He's usually a pretty chill dude on his vids, so I'm not necessarily saying he's wrong. I'm more addressing the common belief that just because your pickups are wound lighter, that immediately translates into...

What works for someone doesn't necessarily work for everyone. I like some vintage output pickups for Metal, but that doesn't mean there's no room for other beefier/chunkier/louder pickups. Quite the contrary. I see two big downsides to low output pickup as well: What clarity and dynamics you...

I love tones from around that time, personally. The tone on Anthems of Rebellion is also to-die-for.

I don't know how "modern" being from the 2000's or how "Metal" it really is, but I love the tone on Shadows are Security by As I Lay Dying. The tone is from around the same time as The End of Heartache which everyone raves about. I like it, but I prefer this one for that style of music...
