Re: close to tallica

hi... i think the DD will give you a pretty solid metallica tone.... or the invader but apparently it needs some tweaking to get it to sound just right... ahah

Re: close to tallica

early metallica tone is great. kill em all = great metal tone. ride had good tone and then MOP came around and they started slipping. everything after MOP has the same exact distortion drop tuning sound that i hate. also, it depends on how far ur willing to go for the tone. do u want something that will suffice or do u wanna spend some money and nail it?

ahhh nah dude....MOP is the greatest tone ever IMO. kill em all is good, kinda nasally, i really liked the tone on RTL. my favorite for a while was garage days re-revisited. .....and stanger is the only album that uses drop tuning (and their worst tone by far IMO)

Re: close to tallica

i agree with u ex but i really like that high nasally but full sounding chug hetfield gets on kill em all. just MHO. either way if ur looking for later metallica get a boogie rack or if early go for a 1987x RI from marshall. then crank.

BTW, dc mally, thanks for calling the Metal Zone a cheap distortion, then saying you're gonna get a Spider II... good one

ahh yea but im only gonna use a spider II (if i do get one) as something to be heard over drums without lugging a half stack round my mates. i wouldnt be going arround claiming it to recreate a full blown mesa stack.

Re: close to tallica

Cheap Distortion? Hardly. There's a reason why so many people love and own this distortion pedal.

Is there a reason why so many people own Peavey Transtubes?

TDevilG, I agree with most of what you said, but I just HAD to poke fun at that Mainly because I have a Transtube myself, and it was one of the lamest purchases ever.

So, to you, And Justice for All, the Black Album, Load, Reload, Garage Inc, S&M, & St. Anger all have the exact same guitar tone?

Well, I guess that makes one of you.

Re: close to tallica

all i know is that i liked metallicas early tone more than the later stuff. i think that after cliff died the music went in a new direction. i DO like songs past MOP but it just seems more refined as opposed to just balls to the wall metal. for me, when i think of metallica i think of hetfield, hammett,burton and ulrich. i think they had perfect then but its cool to go other places with the music. i just dont like it as much.

What kind of tweaking are we talking about here? I might plan on getting an Invader for my Explorer (God, I can't decide on pickups), but I'm not sure how they would sound in Korina wood, and now I have to think about the tweaking.

Re: close to tallica

There's no tweaking necessary with any pickup... some people (like myself) just like to goof around with them. I actually like the Invader best stock.
