Hetfield Clean

[KH2203]

So here's my quick and dirty attempt at a Hetfield Clean Chorus type tone. Mainly based on the tone he uses live. Still missing a little something, but close. Keep in mind this was one take on the clean and another quick take on the "solo" (lol) using my Mark IV patch. Also, this is not at all mixed so might be a little hot in spots.

Try the JC120 roland jazzchorus. That is THEE sound.

AFAIK, on MOP Hetfield used his Mesa MkIIC+ for the cleans, I am pretty sure he started using the JC-120 around the time of the making of AJFA. I'm not 100% sure on this, but either way that's a wicked tone dude, very close.

I recently daw that they used the jc120 on kea, mop, ride, mop

good tones, nice chimey-ness and thinner sound on the clean....usually folks have it too thick.
thanks for sharing.

sounds very cloe, it's a bit too dark IMHO

Thx. It's definitely not perfect. I tend to favor darker tones in general which may be a contributing factor.

 

[Loquenau]

I think it sounds better. The original is a little gamey sounding. Yours is smoother. Will check out that patch for sure.

I thought they always used flanger and not chorus in their classic clean tones?

 

[MetalGarret]

That's a pretty good clean tone regardless of how close it is to Hetfield's. Nice work!
