      @@WoockerSocket2 It actually equals a much tighter sound. More gain can sound cool but if it's poorly mixed it just sounds like a mess, now Metallica can get away with this since James is so tight with his playing but clearly he prefers the low gain sound especially in multitracking. I honestly agree with it too, it's a lot easier to layer up a low gain mix than hi gain and goes much better with the low end of a bass guitar.

    Stop attacking my guitar tone from when i was growing up. Hahaha very accurate especially the treble at max. I think my worst sound was max bass max treble max tone 0 mids on my 15 watt starter amp. To fix my sound my grandparents got me a DanElectro Fab Tone for this super biting trebly distortion, but it was a lifesaver to actually get decent overdrive as a teenager. This was in the days before RUclips so there were no guides on how to get a great tone or what were the best pedals to buy. Different times. Thanks for your video for the fun trip down memory lane.

    Bogner Ecstasy is probably the same,if not the Bass is around 40 to 60 and I use a eq before to boost the mids
    Mark III bass,middle,treble and presence is basically the same,but I dont use tube screamer or compression because I have two parametric eqs on rhythm,and one for lead,just to emulate a little bit the graph eq of Mark series
    My clean tones: Bogner have a lot of ambience,so pitch shifter (Eb to Bb) eq,delay,particle reverb and compression,no amp btw, and for Mark III,Pitch Shifter (in E I use to emulate a 12 strings and Eb to A in the copies),Acoustic sim (full effect),chorus,delay and reverb
    Is very John Petrucci inspired,except for Bogner I was inspired by Juninho Afram (Brazillian guitarist) and Steve Vai to build this set
    That's pretty much it,and my amp is just a cabinet for me,clean channel,the eq is always flat,I just adust the gain and volume and sounds beautiful hihihi

    0:17 is almost a legitimate dialing of the Kill 'Em tone. Just a bit more boosting, gain and bass. lml
    And if the tone for Blackened was a bit more engineered (Not even using IR's, but there's the Flemming Rasmussen notes on both MOP and AJFA, and copying the exact same settings in similar gear, both VST's and analog, will lead you extremely close to the Justice tone, which i take the risk of saying it is the best engineered guitar tone to have ever existed, not kidding.

    Max mids and teble and 0 bass is early black sabbath tone , i used it , sounds heavy and loud but not so good for extreme metal
