What do you usually think of? I like a very Clear, articulate, scooped, with really tight bass. I don't like thick low mids for my thrash tones.
So what do you thrash guys think is the ultimate thrash tone? I usually think of ride the lightning type tones, or master of puppets stuff. :rock:

+ 1 also Mille from Kreator. His last couple recorded tones are sick as fuck. Andy Sneap probably reamped his and Gary's through the same rigs! :lol: :LOL:

I also love Scott Ian's tone on Speak English or Die and also Dave's tone on Countdown.

Definitely RTL for me, KEA for a more "punk" approach to thrash tone, but I also really dig Anthrax's sound from STD and ATL which is very tight/polished and scooped, not as loose/raw as KEA. Slayer's RIB tone I also love and the mids are definitely not scooped on that one.

When I saw Kreator several years ago they were using 5150's. Opened up for Napalm D (Recto) and both them and Napalm sounded incredible. Danny Herrera is one of my favorite drummers in metal period.
 
I hate to say it because I will probably be flamed but.....When I think of thrash I think of AFJA :D Also Scott Ian on Speak English Or Die was a good pick, the tone on that album is so brutal and one of my all time favorites :rock:
 
Ride the Lightning! That is my all-time favorite thrash tone.
 
Those are all players with great tone mentioned above. But when I think thrash, I think of shittier tones. Like DRI, Suicidal Tendencies and Vio-lence.

Mmmm...good stuff :rock:

My point being, I dont think the sounds of the "Big Four" represent the sounds of the genre. Most thrash bands had shitty tone IMO - but I love it :D
 
Mustaine's tone on Rust in Peace.... Holy wars...The punishment due...... Just love that tone... :rock:
 
for me it would probably be the 80s metallica tones Anthrax, Megadeth and Slayer, but essentially what the OP said, and let's pop some videos of other notable bands=0





 
Besides the big 4

I always liked the guitar sound on Sacred Reich's Independent




I always liked the guitar sounds on Exodus Fabulous Disaster











 
Gary Holt... Exodus's guitar tone is ballin' son! :D

Gotta thank Andy Sneap for that one ;)

Thrash tone is in the hands as well. Need not more be said about Mr. Holt.

big Sacred Reich fan here :rock: :rock: :rock:
 
Megadeths rust in peace has a perfect tone for that album. Ride the lightning is a killer one as well. I like a lot of the tones testament had over the years as well.
 
Whenever we want to play some thrash I try to set my gear to sound like Ace of Spades. Maybe not prototypical thrash, but it works right.
