JAMES HETFIELD GUITAR RIG HOW TO

Learning how to write good SONGS and not 30 second Instagram clips is the new Norm unfortunately. hell many of these kids today have never even PLAYED a real amp, yet going around giving advice like they have, but it’s based on some type of simulation. A true half stack blaring at you, learning how to control a high gain amp, the feel of it etc. THAT has for sure changed, and you can’t get that feel playing to a computer and superior drummer, no matter how much I love technology nowadays, that’s a feel thing that many young generations aren’t going to experience. What I will say doesn’t happen as much anymore, is guys getting together and playing together in a room like a damn BAND. Hetfield is not the only Metallica member who’s got guitars on his mind at the moment. The 750 Deluxe and 150 Limited Edition versions have already sold out, but pre-orders remain open for the hardcover format, which costs 80. But it’s because I was new, young, brain like a sponge, and I simply had never heard anything like that or a tone like that in my life: as we get older, the nostalgia of those records etc stays with us, and we never are able to reach that again often, it’s just the way it is. Messengers: The Guitars Of James Hetfield will be published in Deluxe, Limited Edition and hardcover formats.

I rmemever the first time I heard pantera, or in flames clayman album, which is still a pinnacle of production and writing to me, and nothing comes close to that stuff for me.

This is a hard one, but it’s the truth: nothing is going to hit you like the first time you heard your favorite bands at a young age: it just won’t. He runs our Pro Tools rig and records every single live show, rehearsal, and TV appearance we do. Man i don’t think it’s that at all, there ar plenty of artists doing groundbreaking work with technology these days: whether or not you enjoy the music is a different question all together, but I choose not go go down the road of “back in my day”, it just hurts you as a player and your attitude towards it. Kirk almost always boosts his Marshalls and amps with a TS9 in the studio evident from all the pics of his studio setups. I know James stated in interviews he used the TS9 into the Marshall but wasn't a big fan on the grainy tone and preferred a more natural amp tone. Same studio and same producer so highly likely that its the same splitter setup to that point. Left-handed Solidbody Electric Guitar with Mahogany Body, Maple Top, Mahogany Neck, Ebony Fretboard, 2 Humbuckers, and Hard Case - Snow White with Iron Cross Graphic. The Blue cable I'm assuming is the line from the splitter box as it is pictured in the MoP studio pics later on. ESP LTD James Hetfield Iron Cross Left-Handed - Snow White.

The TS9 isn't plugged in in the pic but the two other boxes are chained into the input. Could they be perhaps EQ or boost pedals?. Guessing from the profile and relative size compared to the Ibanez pedal, could they be some TC Elec pedals, esp being that the TC pedals were Danish origin and could make sense being used in a Danish studio. The Dunlop black fang Pick Tin - 6 pack is a collection of special picks Country of Origin: United States. Jim Dunlop PH112T1.14 Hetfield Black Fang, 1.14mm, 6 Picks/Tin. I could rant on and on about the rest of their rigs like the Voodoo Lab Ground Control/GCX setups they share, or point out how Kirk has a custom rackmount version of his signature Cry Baby Wah, or even theorize how much James paid for the Klon Centaur that he uses as a lead boost, but why don’t we just get to the videos? And if you want some better pics of their racks, he’s a Mesa/Boogie article that will do the trick.Just a question regarding the pic above that I've always wondered about, I can see that there is a TS9 and a Ibanez ST800 but what are the two other boxes on top that the signal is routed through before the amp input? 73mm ( Dunlop PH112T.73 note the PH for Papa Het). Electronic’s mid-tier guitar processors but as processing power becomes cheaper more pros are choosing them over the very old G-Force units still in production. The second point of curiosity for me was that James and Kirk both use G-Major 2 processors, which got me thinking about how the G-Major line used to be T.C. Of course, that’s only half of his distortion tone. So maybe there’s some mojo to that unit that I’ve been overlooking. Its a custom-made guitar designed in Milan, Italy. And John Petrucci has also been using the Triaxis again as of late. The Unforgiven is the actual touring acoustic guitar of James Hetfield.

I remember he briefly flirted with a Triple Rectifier years ago but I haven’t paid much attention to his setup recently so I guess he’s pretty much stayed true to the Triaxis throughout the years. First of all: damn, he’s still featuring the Mesa/Boogie Triaxis preamp in his rack? I love Mesas as much as the next guy, but I’ve never gotten one of those units to sound as good as their heads no matter what power amp was involved. Two things jumped out at me with James’ setup.
