      Daniel Henry that’s more because they again used the IIC+ slaved into a Marshall as well as a lot of secret sauce sort of stuff, I’ve recently been writing an article on how to get a close James Hetfield tone from every era of Metallica for under $5000 (that’s $5000 all together not $5000 per era)

      Daniel Henry I need to make sure everything works and it’s not just theory or speculation
      But for the Black Album tone if you get a Harley Benton guitar like the SC-1000 or the Extreme-84 and replace the pickups with EMG 81-60 set, use a JCM-800 clone like the Bugera 1990 (I use a combination of EL-34 and 6L6 valves) with the Mesa Flux Five drive pedal to replicate the IIC+ drive with a similar settings Ola used in this video but a more pronounced Mid. I use that with a 4x12 cabinet with matching pairs of Celestion Vintage 30’s and Creambacks. You’ll be able to get a ball park tone for not a huge amount of money

    Damn Ola, you make me feel old. I was 16 and a sophomore in high school when this record came out in March of 1986. I heard the song "Master of Puppets" on the radio(?) late one night in April and went out and bought the RECORD that week. It was like nothing I had ever heard. I mean back then Judas Priest and Iron Maiden were the kings of metal and here this album was heavier than they were! I was blown away. I remember trying to describe Metallica and "Master" to my friends and failing to do so, just started making cassette recordings of "Master" (that's right Lars) and passing them out. When August rolled around Ozzy came to my town on his Ultimate Sin Tour with opening act- you know it -Metallica! It wasn't the show I had hoped for from Metallica because that's when James had broken his arm skateboarding and had taken the stage in a cast sans guitar while his roadie played his parts behind the curtain......I'm sorry Ola. I rambled on too long. Its just that "Master of Puppets" will always mean so much to me and that young 16 year old metalhead during Metal's Golden years. I just can't explain what a game changer this record was for metal and the metal community. I have thoroughly enjoyed this video Ola. Thank you.

      About his musician skills. He made some really good Metal drum tracks for that time when they were written and released (Puppets, Justice). Justice is still my personal favorite Drum album of all metal albums I have heard to this day. No metal drummer on the planet has inspired as many other metal drummers as him. I rather see him live sucking at drums as long he is the showman he is today than if he played super tight but was super boring to look at as 99% of metal drummers are.

    Hi Ola,
    When I met James Hetfield in 1991, I asked him whether he recorded the whole Master of Puppets album with that Jackson King V (when I asked him to sign the picture you showed in the video). He said 'No. Only some small parts.' He recorded most of the album with his then new '84 Gibson Explorer with stock pickups. It would have been easier for you to play an Explorer shaped guitar sitting too :)

    There is a theory that James didn't use his Marshall Cabs with the G12 Heritage speakers on MOP, but they had rented some cabs from the studio which had T-75s in them which you can definitely hear on the album and more so in the isolated tracks. The sound is unmistakable.

    You know what would actually get this rig closer to the tone than it already is?
    Run the FX Send of the Mesa into the FX Return of a DSL 100, which is just a different flavor of an 800. I've heard how close those DSL's can get to that 800 tone even with the same EL34's for the power amp section.
    If you can, I'd like to see you revisit this video and put this idea to the test. I think this could be the closest anyone could get to recreating the tone.

    This is really close to the sound James has into the recording back then. But he would have had analog signal loss, tape compression and distortion. And of course guitar tone is adjusted with eq in the mix. So what Ola is doing here sounds better than the recording because of the quality of modern recoding and not being part of the mix. So if any of you think Olas sound is a bit strange compared to the album it's because of these reasons. Great riff job Ola!!

      @Tomcat82 5 лет назад +4

      I’ve heard numerous people say that James used G12-65 speakers on MOP, but after looking at Flemming Rasmussen’s notes from the MOP studio sessions (pictured in this video), I don’t think that’s correct. On Flemming’s notes, it says that “300 watt kabinets” were used. 300 watts divided by 4 speakers = 75 watt speakers. So apparently Metallica recorded MOP with G12T-75 speakers, not G12-65s. And it should be noted that, in 1986, those would have been the gen 1 T-75 speakers with the vent on the back of the magnet. These are sonically superior to the ventless Chinese made versions Marshall puts inside their cabinets today. Though they share the same name and wattage rating, they are not at all the same speaker.
      I think it’s much more feasible to say that G12-65 speakers were used on RTL... I know of no hard evidence to confirm this, but being that it was 1984, it’s entirely likely they were used there. But for MOP, the available evidence seems to point to the T-75.
      If you know something I don’t about Metallica using the G12-65 on MOP, please reply with a link to whatever convinced you. I’m always looking to learn more about the gear they used on those older albums.

    There's a thread on Gearslutz where Flemming goes into detail about the recording. Most of the guitars were just the Boogie, some of the leads were slaved into the JCM800. Aphex notes on the right side are for the studio parametric EQ they had run through the Boogies FX loop.
    The mic EQ notes at the bottom are for an SM57, B&K 4006 OMNI mic, and AKG Goldtube mic. They used two Marshall cabs with the same miking. SM57 on center cone of a bottom speaker, the B&K OMNI center cone of another speaker, and the AKG tube mic at a 45 degree angle 4 feet away from the edge of the cab to pick up resonances.
    According to Flemming rhythm guitars were probably on an Explorer or possibly a Les Paul, Vs only would have been used for leads.

    I've been under the impression that EMGs were used on the album since I was like 12, my mind is blown

      Naaawp. SD Invader for James. AJFA is the first with EMG pickups. Don't know what Kirk used on MOP though. Not EMGs, anyway.

      So let me get this right....the boys listen to Master of Puppets back and decide to go and change pickups? “Hey guys let’s go change all our shit, we can do better.” whaaa?

    The down picking is pretty essential to the sound on ''MoP'' and ''RtL''. Alternate picking just doesn't sound right on a lot of those songs.

    • @spiderfan1974
      @spiderfan1974 4 года назад +1

      Only on the chords open strings up down or alternate picking doesn't matter. Efficiency picking the open strings and down picking the chords nobody will ever know you're not downpicking.

      @J. L. Kale wrong it's the bass that brings the thunder in metal in general. Thrash metal guitar tone is all mid and treble. I promise you can't tell the difference between a down stroked open E or an up stroked open E. Now an open E chord you can tell a difference all day long.

      @J. L. Kale Can't palm mute using up strokes yet? You a guitar noob? That's where the percussive sound comes from the palm muting.

    • @spiderfan1974
      @spiderfan1974 4 года назад

      @J. L. Kale OK calm down there child. An open palm muted string sounds the same up, down, or however you pick it. I bet you still believe in tone wood too, bless your heart.

      @J. L. Kale you first chief, where is your awesome videos where you kill it on the down strokes? How many accidentals in the key of b? Answer quick or I'll know you googled it. And what are said accidentals?

    The secret to these amps is the EQ staging, the 3 band before the preamp and the 5 band after before the power amp. 3 band Treb 10, Mid 0, bass 0. 5 band eq to taste. To improve down picking hold the pick with 3 fingers, James does it and it helps endurance.

    Great job as always. Maybe you should try the infamous « Slaughter of the soul » guitar sound. It is a nice challenge and you already have all the boss distorsion pedals needed.

      SirRunk pretty sure he programmed the tones in the axefx floor unit they are using.

    • @urvasbethud8849
      @urvasbethud8849 5 лет назад

      SirRunk Everybody knows what was the gear used for that legendary recording. It is more difficult to recreate it perfectly. And, of course, the guitarist who was responsible for the sound isn’t in the band anymore.

    IIRC, they tuned the guitars lower while recording but sped the tapes up in post to achieve a tighter sound. I think what ended up being released is pretty much A=440hz.
