December 25th - Gift of Tone - Metallica’s Live Preset?

[ElectricPhase]

@ everybody on this thread getting greedy.

Mind you, I wouldn't be surprised if some of this speculative drooling might actually be satisfied. FAS has been very kind to us of late!

Metallica is easy to do yourself. No need for their "proprietary" tones. There is nothing special going on in the tone. It is guitar, amp, some eq in the loop, cabs, occasional efx. Basic efx were delay for leads chorus on the cleans some verb in the mix. The wah wasn't really a thing in the early albums, as it is in every thing since black.

These are all the early tones up to Justice.

The MOP and Ride are very similar tones and these can be tweaked for Ride very easily. I have tried these on my Afx3 and I was able to hit these early tones easily.

I am not a fan of their stuff after Justice, so I never tried. I liked Deth Magnetic because it sounded like Garage days to me and the new Song Lux Aeturna sounds like the old days as well. I grew up listening to Kill em all through the black albums and was opening for these guys and the other biggies (before anyone knew who they were) back then.

That's awesome! Be cool if you shared those with us.

Joel Hokestra (TSO ) with Christmas would make total sense
Steve Stevens , Pete Thorn then have many to choose from
Just enjoy the ride

I had forgotten about all of them. But yeah, I’m already beyond ecstatic with what we’ve been gifted. The entire ride has been amazing.

Neal Schon is also a big Fractal artist that no one has brought up. Maybe he will contribute one of his presets.

The Lars Ulrich bass preset barely audible....

I want a Fractal Audio Systems "gift of tone" - Lars Ulrich St. Anger Snare patch – make your guitar sound like a giant trash can with each power chord!

Maybe Neal Schon will feel festive this year and share his presets.

He's busy, fighting with the keyboardist over the credit card bill.

Yeah, I will pull the patch and put them in here, tomorrow.

Yeah he comes across as a real festive and generous guy….

Oooh yeah. Would be great. He’s made a few things available via Patreon but I’d always love to check out more.

This is copying the album tones not live tones, from the classic albums.

I use a dark guitar with Dimarzio's in it, so this might be bright for others, but it is a start and uses most of Flemming's eq moves from the albums he recorded.

I used a V30 cab in the AX3 that was a little brighter since the early albums were a little brighter in the high end. I could have used a Marshall cab, but that felt too bright to me.

There are 3 scenes. 1 is the dirty Rythm tones. 2 is leads, 3 is cleans.

Give it a shot. I never have luck with other people's presets sounding good for me. That is why I always give people the tools to make their own presets. If you want to tweak I suggest you look at my post earlier in the thread with all of Flemming's notes.

 

[Obtuse Buffoon]

Kenny G presets and you're done.

Have a Merry Xmas Matt!

 

[Lord ToneKing]

Or maybe a Tom Quayle.

A couple years old but stellar nonetheless

A couple year old but stellar nonetheless

Yep, this is still one of my go to presets. TQ is a monster.

What a wonderful player!
