EAS IR’s: they black album SO HARD!!!!

[TheGreatGreen]

The isolated sad but true guitars for refernce… of course, but volume difference, and the lack of the room ‘verb is a big part of that sound too… and of course James’s hands and 8 guitars playing at once

Yet more evidence that Metallica needs to go back to REAL amps.
The (obviously) digital modelers in that clip have WAY too much digital fizz. I can tell.

Pretty sure some of the songs on the black album (and other Bob Rock productions) sometimes blended in an amp DI sound which adds a lot of that top end. It’s subtle but it adds that final missing piece.

Killer tones btw!

They did . They use a mxr distortion pedal straight in as well . I can’t remember which one . I’ll look it up. It’s in a guitar mag . I had some good weed one time that made me think I could hear the mxr real good one time lol . I was just high

Sounds great! ??

And those frequencies (for the most part) are actually what they cut/boosted with the Aphex parametric in the loop of the amp.

I believe the only DI tones on that album was the harmonized melody interlude in My Friend of Misery (yes, an MXR + straight to the board) and as well Nothing Else Matter's clean intro that James played on Kirk's Tom Anderson with some type of (now long out of production) non EMG active pickups.

You sure you mean this clip? That's the original, recorded in 90-91.

I know it’s on wherever may roam . That’s the song they spoke of using it on in article. But they made it sound like it was ok everything according to Rock

I was just messing around, making fun of the guys who insist that Metallica's bad tone these days is 100% because they use modeling and not becuase of their newfound bad choice of amps in general.
