Tried to get 80's Metallica tone - Mark IV

[Aart]

Another recording. Made it this afternoon and tried to get that early Metallica sound. The first riff is a litlle bit off(first chords need to be F#, but I played an E). I'll fix that tomorrow(can't record anymore, too late).

I'd say tone there is about spot on...

I think about the only difference is that 'tallica's has a little more "airyness" and I'd bet that's due to the recording not being digital back then. Great tone, a couple of wrong notes in the beginning, but no biggie. Good stuff man, keep it up!

Your tone is about as close as it gets tallica's man. l8er

and to think people are chasing a metallica mod for their IV's when the tone is already there...

Dude, that was better than Metallica! (which isn't saying much, but hopefully it means something to you)

I didn't know the church lady was still jamming

sorry the midi BT did have a church lady vibe! Your tone was close, I agree with the "airyness" which could have somewhat to do with the post mix..

Great Job, thanks for posting.

Thanks guys!
The kirk part is cool indeed.

I think that's because I recorded 4 rythm tracks. I have made 2 new mixes with two tracks, one with the rythm tracks where I used the AJFA QEG, and one where I used the MoP QEQ.(Used two different settings on the first mix)
