    Shortest Straw?

    Hmm, not bad. Justice was all Boogie though for the most part, and Shortest Straw was actually the Quad into the Strategy 400. I'm not really getting into the tone much myself. It's a good tone in general, don't get me wrong, but I think it has this unnatural narrowness/compression to the...

    The Black Album

    Haha, love that intarwebz! 8-) They did layer some tracks on "Sad But True" that included a Danelectro if I recall right, but for the most part, it was 3 tracks - 2 on the sides and one up the gut with more mids as a "thickener." DISCLAIMER: This next statement can not be verified, take it...

    The Black Album

    According to James on the documentary, there was 3 tracks of rhythm. I know there was 6 tracks of it on MOP.

    Anybody cop a good Splawn amp tone?

    Maybe Big Hair would get you there? in the manual, it states... "Relive the 80's metal scene. This custom type has a unique voicing and tone stack that emphasizes mid frequencies without getting muddy. Now plug in and shred!" That sounds exactly how I would describe the Spalwn. Hot-rodded...

    Amp sim requests

    I had already noted the Mesa Mark IIC+ and ADA MP-1 Preamp (ss clean and tube drive modes) previously, but I wanted to add in some more: Mesa Triaxis Lead 2 Green I know it's based on the Mark IV and there's already a Mark IV model in there, but I always thought that my Lead 2 Green Mode in...

    The Black Album

    The Ultra arrives tomorrow, and I was thinking about various patches I would work on. One I definitely wanted to take a crack at was "The Black Album." So, has anyone taken a shot at that sound yet, rhythms or lead? Would be nice to have a starting point if someone already has a work in progress.

    First old-school metallica cover..

    Hey Claw, I'm up to the challenge. I actually talked to Michael Wagener a while back about when it was mixed. Got some insight into the basics of how it was mixed and such. The cab itself appears to be an old Marshall 1960B with 75's in it since it was noted as a "300w cab." My Ultra will be...

    First old-school metallica cover..

    Flemming closed down Sweet Silence Studios? Didn't know that, sad to hear.

    First old-school metallica cover..

    Haha, yeah. Everything down picked that's humanly possible to do so.

    First old-school metallica cover..

    A point of interest. The Master of Puppets album has 6 tracks of rhythm. There are 2 main tracks panned hard left/right, 2 tracks doubling it up or playing complimentary parts panned about 10 and 2, and then 2 tracks that play only the palm muted stuff of the low E for extra chunk (also panned...

    Amp sim requests

    Another HUGE vote for the Mesa Mark IIC+. Yes, the Axe-Fx has the Lead 2 Yellow form the Triaxis, but after owning both, there's no comparison. I would actually model them for two different models...do a IIC+ with the JCM 800 power section for an authentic "Master of Puppets" sim, and then do...

    First old-school metallica cover..

    Sounds pretty good overall. I think the bottom end is a little tubby and not quite percussive enough though. Hetfield had a razor sharp attack on the bottom end on that album if memory serves me correct and the tone on the clip seems a little too round or tubby in the lows. The essence of the...

    Good big muff sound?

    If you want something that sounds very similar to the old Muff's, get a Skreddy Mayo pedal. Those sound exceptionally close to the old Muffs. They're missing *something*, but I've never found anything that sounded closer. Not to mention they're true bypass, accept 9v adapters, and they're a lot...

    Good big muff sound?

    Yeah, the originals are a rarity. The old Triangle Muff's were only made for a couple of years and go for $500+ on the used market. I sold my last one for $700. They're definitely the only way to get that authentic old Muff sound, unless you found some NOS 2N5133's that happened to be spec'd in...

    Master Of Puppets

    That mp3 has been removed. Does anyone have an mp3 of that patch playing some old Metallica?

    Iron Maiden "Somewhere in time" album tone

    Yep, that's Gallien Krueger on that album for the most part. For the Axe Fx, I'd shoot for the JCM 800 or JMP-1 model to dial it in. Either one would get you in the ballpark. I do love the tone on that album.

    Good big muff sound?

    It would probably be difficult to nail that tone. I don't know what specific model Muff is used in the Axe-Fx, but I'm going to assume it's most similar to the later model, which is gainer and grittier (and very inferior IMO). It sounds like Corgan used an old Triangle spec Muff on that...

    Skid Row I Remember You solo anyone come close?

    They were using MP-1's back in the day into a Greenback loaded Marshall cab. That was for the rhythms. For leads, they used a variety of amps, including an old lower wattage (all tube) Groove Tubes amp. There's no record of what amp was used per solo. Reverb was added after the fact in the mix...
