Thanks bro! I appreciate your kind words! I am using my 1985 LPC with the Fishman Fluence Will Adler set! Great pickups and that Gibson does sound massive!

I had some more time to test it at louder "bedroom" levels thru my 2003 Mesa Boogie OS - Fuckin hell! It sounds massive!
Unfortunately, no clips can do justice - the "in the room" experience is unbelievable. Although I am not really good at describing amps, if I had to do so and compare it to other amps I've played, I'd say the following ..
Tight - articulate - percussive chugging - really dynamic and responsive - MASSIVE and 3D sounding - punchy and aggressive with amazing clarity.
It's more like a hot rodded VHT Deliverance or a good ol' Marshall JMP 2203 but without the harsh mids. The punch it gives reminds me of that time I ran my 2C+ thru a strategy 400 but we are talking about a 50 watts amp here!
Note that I tend to prefer the Lead Master Pulled - Shift as it kinda scoops the mids I think

In this wider shot you can see he had two more Wizards. I don't know what specific models they are though, perhaps some gurus can ID them.
also, Is that also a Jose on top?

Wizards are hard to record my ass. You just got the amp and your first attempts at recording sound pretty faithful to me. Well done!

I've only found a couple I've found over the years.
Another angle.
This one is from the Presidio period I think.
There was also a white one in the studio around the Hardwired sessions. Perhaps used during Kirks parts, due to the littering of Tubescreamers and the Recto in the shot?

Pepper/C.O.C. is great at that southern/New Orleans styled hard rock/boogie metal. Pepper was trying to teach James how to write good riffs in that style. Pepper failed.

1. The look on James' face says it all.
2. Can I repost these somewhere else?

Well, Philhouse posted them so just trying to be respectful. I have no idea how well known these are or who actually took them.
There is a Metallica Gear FB group that will either love or hate these.
