Title: Metallica - Escape ~ cover tone test.
Post by: Transcend on March 08, 2008, 04:45:07 PM

I've nearly finished the rhtyhm up on this now so before i start on the leads and overdubs id like a bit of feedback on the tone.

I was not going for the metallica RTL sound on this i was just trying to put my own spin on things.

Equipment used.

Agile AL2500 with miracle man bridge
Line 6 UX1 using the missipi criminal amp with green25 4x12 cab sim

and no effects.

Recorded straight into reaper with no after EQing

ive finished the rhythm on the left channel (james guitar parts)

now ive just gotta do kirks and relearn the solo.

Then again i may cop out and get andy to do it.

Just wish it had real bass :@

I can't quite put my finger on what it is that makes this sound a little off from the typical metallica tone *probably the tons of post processing, and running a guitar through far too many amps*, but even though it isn't exactly spot on to me, it's a great tone, and dare i say it, perhaps a bit better than the Metallica tone.

Thanks :D

to be fair on metallica thought RTL is extremely poorly produced.

The tone couldve been far better but the production let it down
