Ask and you shall receive!

Keep in my mind I built these specifically to go direct for studio

purposes. Obviously you will need to modify a bit to suit your guitar/pups and the other
stuff in your signal chain...
Kill 'Em All - I read that they used JCM800s with matching 4x12s boosted by a Rat
distortion. Once I selected those and cranked them up it already sounded pretty close.
Dist - Rodent (D55,F30,L99)
Amp - '83 JCM800 (G55,B6,M1,T4,L60)
Cab - British 4x12
pEQ - Low (-9dB@500hz,Q1); Mid (+6dB@1.5kHz,Q3); High (+5dB@5kHz,Q2)
Reverb - LexAmb (0ms,D25,V25,L25)
Ride The Lightning - The original sounds like they layered a dozen guitars using distant
micing in a fairly wet room. I had trouble recreating all that in the RP as all the cab sims are
very tight sounding...
Dist - Amp Driver (G0,M0,L99)
Amp - '83 JCM800 (G90,B8,M1,T6.5,L60)
Cab - British 4x12
pEQ - Low (-7dB@500hz,Q1); Mid (+3dB@1.5kHz,Q3); High (-4dB@4.5kHz,Q3)
Reverb - LexRoom (0ms,D45,V45,L35)
Master of Puppets - See note for Ride The Lightning. It didn't turn out quite like I'd
hoped...
Dist - Amp Driver (G0,M0,L99)
Amp - DigiMetal (G50,B5,M1,T8,L60)
Cab - DigiMetal 4x12
pEQ - Low (-12dB@500hz,Q2); Mid (+7dB@1.12kHz,Q3); High (-12dB@3kHz,Q1)
Reverb - LexRoom (0ms,D35,V35,L35)
...And Justice For All - This one has an obvious heavy saturated tube sound that really
can't be captured in the RP1000. None of the models have that character. Aside from that
characteristic sound, I think I pretty much nailed it.
Dist - Screamer (G15,T75,L99)
Amp - DigiMetal (G50,B5,M1,T5.5,L60)
Cab - DigiMetal 4x12
pEQ - Low (-12dB@500hz,Q2); Mid (+7dB@1.12kHz,Q3); High (-12dB@3kHz,Q1)
FX - MultiChorus (S0,D0,Sine,L25) - Chorus might have been a little heavy here. Might want
to lower the level to 15 or so...
Reverb - LexRoom (0ms,D35,V35,L25)
Black Album - Ah yes, the real test begins. Saturated tubes, comb-filtering, multiple mics,
etc. Lots the RP can't recreate but I did my best.
Dist - Screamer (G25,T75,L99)
Amp - DigiMetal (G50,B5,M1,T5,L60)
Cab - DigiRock 4x12
pEQ - Low (-4dB@425hz,Q1); Mid (-12dB@1.12kHz,Q3); High (+12dB@5.3kHz,Q3)
FX - MultiChorus (S0,D0,Sine,L15) - Maybe lower to 5-10.
Reverb - LexStudio (0ms,D25,V25,L35)
Load - Load and Reload are actually my favorite Metallica albums. Less layering, no comb
filtering (that I can hear), and a fairly dry room makes modelers happy when trying to
recreate tones. The only thing lacking is that "tubey" character IMO.
Dist - Screamer (G25,T50,L99)

Amp - '89 RG100 (G50,B5,M5,T5,L75)

Cab - DigiAlt 4x12

Reload - See note above...

Reverb - LexStudio (0ms,D25,V25,L35)
Garage Inc. - Not in the video but I did make one. I like the production on this album
much the same as Load and Reload. I just couldn't find any decent backing tracks.
Dist - Screamer (G25,T75,L99)
Amp - DigiMetal (G50,B5,M5,T7,L50)
Cab - DigiAlt 4x12

Reverb - LexStudio (0ms,D25,V25,L25)
St.Anger - The guitars actually have a decent heavy sound. Everything around them
sounds awful though.
Dist - Screamer (G35,T75,L99)
Amp - '89 RG100 (G50,B5,M5,T5,L75)
Cab - DigiSolo 4x12
pEQ - Low (+3dB@180hz,Q3); Mid (-4dB@710Hz,Q2); High (-3dB@3.55kHz,Q2)
Reverb - LexStudio (0ms,D25,V25,L35)
Death Magnetic - Also not in the video. I'm not a fan of their sound on this album either...
Dist - Screamer (G50,T99,L99)
Amp - '01 Dual Rect (G50,B5,M1,T5,L50)
Cab - DigiVintage 4x12
