gearhead Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Hetfield amp settings huh? Boy, that's gonna be a tough one, unless you have the same equipment. Use your ears, set your amp controls to 5 (flat) and slowly adjust them You'll figure it out. Even if you find the exact settings he uses, unless you have the exact same guitar effects, amp etc you still won't get it spot on. Good luck! Welcome to the forum!

bigneil Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Hetfields sound has changed over the years, but in general i usually think of it as a scooped sound ... by that i mean you need a crate load of distortion, but not all the way up to eleven. Your amp EQ set something like, bass 6 or 7, middle 3 or 4, and treble at about 6 or 7, and if you have a "presence" knob on your amp then turn it up to about 7 or 8. However, these setting are only a rough approximation that work on my Marshal with a High output humbucker at the bridge of a LP or similar type guitar. your settings may be totally different if your using a different amp etc. The basic principal i think is that "scooped" sound, which is basically high bass, flat or negative middle and a bit of treble.

bigneil Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 EMG pickups and mesa boogie amps are the real key to getting a proper Metallica sound however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Moore Tribute Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Just a Suggestion but Fender Fuse is a FREE AP and once you upload these defaults it should show you what settings to have and effects that are required (Screens shows quite specific icons and positions) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Moore Tribute Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Is it only for Fender amps? NO the app shows a visual image of the amps settings and any effect pedals that are added on to get the desired tone Its very easy to follow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
