Re: Master of Puppets sound (the song)...
I was able to nail the MOP tone (James's part) one day in the music store. I had a Jackson RR-1 (with the JB bridge) straight into a Marshall Valvestate VS-100 amp. I scooped out all mids, cranked the bass and treble, gain at around 7, and nailed it. I think the Valvestate mimics the tine of the ADA MP-1's as it is a hybrid. I eventually switched my Les paul custom to EMG's and couldn't get the same tone. I think I read somewhere that James recorded MOP with a Jackson King V. The maple neck thru and either poplar or alder body wings, ebony fretboard, contribute alot to the tone.

marshall is not making the vs100 anymore , it was replaced by the avt series. if you really want to sound like metallica save your money for a mesa boogie

Um, I live in Europe, but my dad lives in New Jersey, and my grandparents live in NY, (I used to live there) so maybe they can buy it, but I'm talking about December/January, so I don't know if youi'll still have it then, or I might just buy an AVT20 what do you think will it get me a good Randy Rhoads/Metallica tone?
