Has anyone got any samples of the MKiv distortion similar to that used on the Metallica Black album. I believe this amp was used on that album and I am seriously considering getting one.

Thanks.
 
Yeah its good for metallica black album type stuff and MOP tones.
I think i recall, NoGlassNoClass had some clips and settings of MOP nailing tones.

Your really need a solid rear-loaded cab with the right speakers (I'd advise vintage30's) to get that type of heavy sound.

..
Personally I have a few issues getting the type of tone you are referring to, It seems when I hit the low EAD type power chords the sound seems to fart a bit. But I'm thinking its probably a guitar or cab issue. Not the amp. But I'm in the process of eliminating this issue, I'll chime in and tell you how it goes when i get around to it
 
Thanks for the clip, thats the sound that i want. As you might have read in my other post I have actually purchased a MKIV widebody combo ... so there is no turning back now! Just gotta wait for it to arrive.

I have an ESP EC400 with the EMG81 pickups, so i should have the right guitar for the sound (I also have another guitar for the cheesey stuff too!)

Cheers,

Tom

I have none of those issues with my Mk IV when I use my Boogie EVM loaded Thiele cabs ( I use two).
