Obligatory Mark V - Metallica Clip

[gibson5413]

Just a really short clip of Metallica - Damage Inc. I have received a ton of requests for Metallica to see how the Mark V sounds. I like what I dialed in. Hit the front end with a clean boost (Maxon OD-9). I don't normally play this type of tune (it's just too fast but my son dared me). Some timing and note mistakes but you get it. Still trying to work through mixing issues with my new monitors. Either way, I like the tone I got. Sounds just as good without boost but used one for low recording volume.

Thoughts?oke:

What are your amp settings like? I just got my Mark V and I'm not quite there.... Using EMG 81/89 setup, btw.

Sounds pretty good! There's an odd "pinging" sound at the beginning when you're doing your palm-muted E-chords, as if you're hitting a natural harmonic with your fretting hand as you clamp over the neck to mute it after playing the chord. It's rather apparent. I think the tone is too saturated as well... but, I dunno, nailing a good MOP tone is pretty **** tricky. I think it could be a bit more "oomfy", more scooped.

It does sound good. Your playing is fine, it just sounds like you need to practice it a little bit more (if you care that much .)

Cool that you and your son do this stuff together! :mrgreen:

EDIT: Forgot to ask, what kind of monitors are you using?
