Please be aware these recordings are carried out silently with no live cabinet in the room deafening my birds. I say it in the videos and state it in the description but I still get complaints about animal cruelty 🥲
I got you man. Haters are gonna hate. I've watched you long enough to know you're good to the birds. Awesome tones as always. Been looking forward to this one since you bought the same amp i have now.
Nailed the tones as usual. What does this guy have that the rest of us don't? He doesn't even use the exact gear from these albums. Good ears cannot be substituted for gear.
I have always wondered how the Ride the Lightning album would have sounded guitar wise if their gear had not gotten stolen? Would they have even traveled over to Europe to record RTL at all? From what I remember, Kirk and James recorded both their guitar parts through a stock JCM 800? As always you did an awesome job capturing the RTL tone with the JCM 800. Now we need a stereo amp set up with DSL20 and the JCM 800 lol!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
I’ve read that it was the guitar player from Mercyful Fates amp as James tried a bunch that were available in Denmark and that one sounded the best to him
I've seen pictures alleged to be from the RTL recording session and there's a JMP 2203 With a tube screamer, Ibanez stereo box, and what look to be a couple TC electronics pedals on top of it. No idea what everything was set up for but as far as i know the jmp2203 and jcm800 are practically the same tone wise.
Sounds really clear and good! I thought the Ibanez 808 sounded the tightest/sharpest, but the mudkiller had the most warm saturation. I'd probably go with the Ibanez
New to the channel, came across it from searching different tones and lead me to the Master Effects web page. Thats where i saw you demonstrating the Puppet Master eq pedal. This is now my favorite RUclips channel. Totally blown away by your knowledge and playing skill. Just wanted to say thank you for what you do. 🤘🤘🤘
heyyy im so glad to see you got a SC20. its pricey but a killer amp, definitly just as great as the 100w version. absolutely nails jame's old lightning tone.
Nice work🤘. Your green parrot ties in nicely with the Ibanez Tube Screamer, the green skateboard and the 333 Dime Slime. The yellowish parrot ties in with the Boss SD-1 and the Black & Yellow ESP Alexi Laiho signature and to a lesser extent the RR Jackson. Don't know if you or anyone has noticed. Nice tone and nice colour coordinating🤘🤘
Looks like you really like a combination of green and yellow. Pedals on the board, guitars on the wall, birds. All are green on the left and yellow on the right.
Good to see you back making videos again. Any chance you’d do a video on the Garage Days Re-Revisted guitar tone? I absolutely love that 5.98 EP and the raw tone. Cheers brother.
I second that one too!! I was stoked when that EP came out because the bass was pretty massive on the EP (Crash Course especially). I think we were all expecting that kind of bass on AJFA, and well……….it just didn’t happen that way lol. I was also surprised they didn’t add Breadfan and the Prince on the EP (I guess it wouldn’t have been an EP then either lol)? I have the MOP and AJFA special editions and hearing Breadfan raw is pretty awesome!! I would love to hear you dial in the rhythm and lead tones for The Wait though!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
@@johnstewart7619 such a great EP, bread fan and The Prince are awesome. I had them on a 12” import of Harvester of Sorrow I picked up back in the day. I played that 5.98 Ep in my Walkman cassette player in high school so much it broke and I had to splice to back together multiple times lol 😂. Loved that it had the same thing on both sides. Yes, it had great bass and the production, sounded awesome to my ears, despite being “not very produced by Metallica” lol 😂 👊👊
Your videos are completely amazing. Thank you for all your advice and information. PLEASE COVER OVERKILL YEARS OF DECAY.....BOBBY'S GREATEST WORK !!!!!!
Awesome tones yet again man. What I would love to see is you doing a thrash rhythm and lead tone using the DSL and basic pedals. Something that can be used in a live cover band situation or even at home jamming to Metallica songs. Keep up the good work man👍
RTL is my favorite guitar tone of all time. That metallic (!) sound is what metal ought to be. I think the key is the delay/reverb along with the phasing that happens with the double-tracking
Just signed on...man you are so humble in your videos! The tones with the TS9 sound great in my Audio Technica headphones. Great playing and great tips for the Hetfield sound....thanks for this! Cheers!
I still can’t believe more people aren’t using the 20 watt 800s they have about gotten too expensive now but when they first came out and you could get them for around 1000, I nearly got one of the stealth versions but wound up with the dsl20 because I wanted two channels even though it’s hard to actually use the dsl20 as a two channel amp lol. The JCM800 does the things we all wanted the JCM900 to do when it came out. I’m an SD1 man myself when you kicked it on it’s like yeah there it is! I bet an OCD would sound killer through it too since it really just gives you more of what’s already there.
@@Highrollinhunter I own a SD1 and an OCD and the OCD sounds great in front of a Marshall it’s more refined and fuller and less cocked wah than the SD1
Nice video and tone Lambchopper, but I think you would get a lot closer to the RTL guitar sound by using an IR of Celestion G12 65 speakers instead of the V30 equipped Mustaine cab in your Two Notes Torpedo unit. I think the specific cab / speaker combo used is responsible for a lot of the guitar sound we hear on these classic records. Apparently, G12 65’s were what Hetfield used on the album (correct me if I’m wrong). I bought an IR pack of this speaker type from the Celestion website and it certainly gives a very RTL vibe when I use them with my amp sim and dial in a thrash sound. I think Ownhammer also came out with an IR pack featuring G12 65’s too. Definitely worth checking out!
They may have used 65's, but I bought a 1960a cab a while back with g12t75's in it, and every amp I play through it sounds like instant Metallica to me. I do think 65's sound a bit better, though.
Great tone and absolute classic album. A lot of it reminds me of the Sfsgsw tone, no surprise since both were hot guitars with drives into jcm800s...and of course the Mustianeisms on Metallicas first two records
1:01 Hmmm, I could've sworn James used his Flying V copy for the Ride The Lightning recordings. I know the King V was used on Master of Puppets, but didn't realize he had it further back. Interesting fact to know. 🤔😮
Dude ive got an '85 4 vertical input 2204 thats been raped by the soldering iron in an attempt to achieve what i reckoned was the essence of the Kill em All tone. After 6 weeks of 10 hour days with 2 four way switches on something like 35 points in the circuit i achieved it. And much, much more. No shitty coating needed by any OD pedals. All thats needed is an oversized cab like the Mode 4 with a couple greenbacks in place of the G100k's it comes with and a Gibsonish ax. Dont let anyone tell u this amp teeters on instability, with proper lead dress and a bit of shielded grid wire absolute whisper quiet stability is there to be had from 4 stages at higher "gain" levels than any Marshall ive ever heard
And most importantly because the EQ is lit by hi plate voltage in combination with a 4 way switch at the slope resistor point absolutely no outboard EQ is required. If Marshall did what I did the metal world would praise and adore them
Could you do another black album tone video where you slave your jcm 800 into your mesa ? I think you’d get some gnarly tones out of that. Great video like always !
Amazing how much difference different pickups make. I've got the same amp, same pedals, speaker cab with the g12-65h (same speakers used on RTL), Same settings on everything but Gibson Dirty Fingers+ in the guitar and doesn't sound like this lol
Dude, this is absolutely baller. My sole goal in life right now is to try and sound like Metallica, so to see it done so perfectly has both given me hope and despair. 😭 Still though, it's massively wicked to see that RTL sound recreated. Nice!
You can use Marshall's FX Loops and the new Tonex pedal to simulate the pre-amp settings of 80s/90s metal. I think you will love getting any Marshall metal artist through your SC20h FX loop.
@@scaremoth334 you can use the power amplifier of your guitar or bass amplifier by plugging TONEX Pedal into the return input of the amp’s FX Loop. Page 8 of the manual.
LAMPCHOPP, You can see studio pictures of Ride the Lightning James Heffield using an orange Ibanez 850 overdrive pedal also. You should get this pedal because it might be asymetrical clipping overdrive and i think its mid scooped
Haha I was never a huge fan of the live wires. I found them a little too pushed and the signal gets muddy when there’s not enough headroom in the amp. They sound great through some setups and terrible through others. I’ve been playing loads of Megadeth through the 800 and wanted to see how the thrash factors would sound through the AOD. Turns out it’s badass for now. I don’t see myself getting any of the new Mustaine guitars. I’ve got enough and there’s no more room left. I’ll be doing a Megadeth vid soon and I think all the pickups will make a good discussion
Great Job yet again. Should get those invader pickups. Ive been using them for years and there awesome pickups.they really Dial those Metallica tones in. Thaks mate...
Killer playing and tone as usual, mate. how do you rate the 'feel' of the SC against the DSL? I was sold on the DSL but then read how the SC feels much more organic and inspiring?!

They found an amp similar to that during the Black Album James said. It was almost exactly the same if not the exact same.

Just cant get anymore metal than that
