haha...for metal...you dont need any chords except the power chord really. And yea that link worked FDD. and ya KP those settings rule, scooped mids give this chunky tone without having the pedals.....Metallica fucking ruled back in their day.

try this sometime for a good metallica-ish crunch...

put the high all the way up, the mid all the way down, and the low all the way up. full overdrive, half contour, half reverb. crank the volume, switch your selector all the way forward, turn all knobs on the ax fully clockwise.....


and rok. and rol.:blsmoke: :mrgreen:

FDD , KP is referring to what is called scooping the mids. All you do is crank up your bass and treble and turn down(scoop) the mids. Also dont forget to turn up your overdrive/distortion. U should be able to do this on your amp configurations.

Yeah the mid range can add or take away a huge amount of tone. Metallica scoops the mids for sure. hey fdd I know you know how to play leads, do you know your scales? Major and minor scales are key to starting to understand chord theory. It makes it easier to jam with people too. Check out some online sites on theory. It's amazing how things start to fall into place once you get an idea of some basic theory. For instance if someone is in Cmaj you would know what chords fit and which ones really don't, you would also know that you could play the relative minor to Cmaj is Amin. It may sound confusing but it really isn't. Have you ever seen those roman numerals, some are capitalized and some aren't?
