      @@RomeoTRM Yeahhh I mean I'm 20 , I grew up listening to metallica 24/7 from my mom and dad so metallica has always been there for me throughout my life. I love to listen to the isolated tracks and just listen to how amazing and how much effort they put into their work. But I can say , I used bias for my metallica tones because I'm too poor to replicate their tone on my Line 6 Spider IV.

    I too have been obsessed with THAT Boogie sound. The best Metallica tone in my opinion. It's a bit more aggressive on Justice, but I kinda like the Master sound better. Another sound I have been obsessed with is the guitar sound on Danzig's first album. I have pretty much nailed that with my Marshall SV20H and also with my UAD 1959SLP plug-in.

    Great tone man. To clarify, you're running the Boogie into the power stage of the peavey, and then that goes to the load box which goes to the helix with the IR loader? I use Logic Pro and use VSTs/plugins like amp cabs and sims, is this the same as an IR loader? I always figured a clean tone was run through the amp before feeding it to an amp sim? Cheers!
