@@srh361 yes but all the guitarists I've seen try to recreate it with those computer programs with amp and pedal fx, so it's really unusual to see someone doing it on a real amp with real pedals
Like seriously. The Call of Ktulu he played at the end there was like Metallica played it themselves. I’ve never heard any isolated of that song before so it’s amazing to hear
@@LambChopper678 fantastic tone ! Do you find the v style guitar more comfortable to play in a sitting position because of the cut out? Do you post Metallica riff lessons?
@@LambChopper678 - then I thought you were in the giant closet with the guitars. but then I noticed there was a parrot. and you were probably referring to a closet behind the door....
This is hands down, the BEST ride the lightning tone ive ever heard on youtube, or anywhere. Jeez, you're fucking amazing man, bonus points for using real amps. Nice tight playing too :D
Oddly enough I’ve listened to more than enough Metallica LIVE recordings from 84-87 they don’t seem to replicate Ride or even Master tone very well, hell even the Garage Day’s EP(1987 release) that didn’t replicate that tone too well either. Surprisingly their Justice tone was more on par to the studio version during the 88-89 tour. I always wonder to myself why they did LIVE shows like that.
Bought this album in 1986 when I was 16 (after I had purchased MOP a coupla months earlier and was blown away) and to this day "Ride" is by far my fave Metallica record and my favorite sounding record, including guitar tone. And you sir have nailed it, absolutely nailed it. Whatever you have dialed up there is spot on man.
The dual lead parts seem to nail it. Nicely done! You reminded me how much I loved that album back when I was a kid. And also...Metallica needs to hire you to consult on their next production. They can't seem to get a decent tone to save their life anymore.
Metallica has been overthinking their tone for the past 20 years, they're thrash metal, making it sound "full" is actually a mistake IMO. It sounds very oxymoronic for me to say the sound is too full or complete ...but it is. Or maybe it's that they're later material lacks the levels of compression which are so satisfying in the older albums.
That tone is close enough that I thought it was the original at first! If it helps anyone out, from what I’ve gathered, they used a tube screamer in front of the 2203, and the speakers for RTL are G12-65s aka the ones famously used by AC/DC on Back in Black.
My best admiration for you! And I liked the fact you didn’t choose a more fitting guitar for this vid just to pay tribute to your wife, being so great with such a present. Well done!
This video reminded me how this album would sound if it were recorded 100% digitally. It’s identical to my ears. But without the tape hiss. Nicely done man. Love the new King V as well
Brilliant 🎸👍 Capturing the real tone of ride the Lightning it's a quest 🙏👍 I'am 53 years old, It's my favorite album of Metallica specially for this special and unique tone. Gongratulation 👌🙏👍👍👍👍
For me it is the same... the video started in background while I was doing another thing and it was like the guitar track from the album isolated. Well done!!!
Just bought myself a DSL HR thanks to this video!! Marshall should really be giving this guy commissions... (Love the tone vids btw, keep 'em coming!!)
I’ve returned to this video countless times over the past year. Bought a Marshall DSL20, bought a 6 band and 10 band EQ of the same brand, and a large Marshall cab. One thing I learned is that *the cabinet is the key to all these tones*. I dialed in the same exact thing to find out that my Marshall cab did not compare to the great sound of the Boogie. I have absolutely no problem with my purchases tho, this guy really showed me the DSL is not only great at replicating tones but even better at making your own sound. Hail to the best Marshall salesman / tone king!
@@Nick20-100 but emg's get very close to that R.t.l tone. i think even easier with all the variables of back then. The speaker, the amp magic etc etc etc. I think emg's was the sound they hadn't been going into but where looking for. Master of puppets also isn't that full emg tone, seymour duncan invader all over that album. But what is really happening then is always this mystery.
I’d absolutely love to see that, I remember I even sent him an email about the tone on one of his maiden covers because I was blown away by how good it sounded haha
this is not a RRXMG ( as you wrote in your text), but an KVXMG. You are right about the new fretboards from Jackson, they look like a very try and bright rosewood, with a lot of pores in it. I do not understand why they are not coloring (ebonizing) them. When the X- Series started production in Indonesia, they sold KVXMGs with a very dark black rosewood fretboards, much darker than regular dark rosewood. A friend of mine has a black KVXMG with this black rosewood fretboard and it looks great, even darker than many ebony fretboards. But I am sure, that was additional color, no rosewood is so dark. these were sold only for a short time, after that they had regular rosewood fretboards again. But aside from the color of the fretboard, it looks very nice ! I prefer a King V to a Rhoads, also while sitting down (of course classic style) and playing. it is so easy to play the way you are also sitting.
I remember that, cheers for the typo. I keep saying RR about it. Just so used to it over the years talking about my Rhoads. The sound is so good in the KV and the Pau ferro makes that so I’m happy. 👌🏻

Well done sir! One of the best Metallica sounds in their discography. You really nailed it. Always find it fun to dial in favorite tones from albums I really liked. The little DSL sounds great.
Bring back the memories of my youth. Great video, you have recreated a sound that I would define mythical for the history of the band and the genre. Thank you!
This is the album that made me pick up a guitar. I was a junior in high school when it was released. When I heard Call of Ktulu I was just floored and went from glam metal (WASP, Poison, Motley Crue, Dokken) to Thrash. You nailed it so good. And you're right, there needs to be an in depth documentary on Ride the Lightning.
Sounds good man, some of my lifetime favorite riffs and WHOLY WOW that new V!! I've had my eye on a RRX24-7 for some reason... Rhodes V with Floyd but 7 strings and 24 fret... mmmmmmmm
I love the fact that you don't bury your tone in a mix... So refreshing many content creators make the same mistake over and over again by doing so... Great work
This makes my ears so happy. Summer of 1989 I ditched my skateboard, bought a Charvel 3DR and learned this album front to back. No TAB. No youtube. Just a tape deck and a whole lot of pressing rewind/stop/play!
NAILED IT !! I ve been chaising that tone on my own but i still can't get it. My Gear is a gibson flying v with emg81,tubescreamer, jcm800, 1960a.....it seems that a 6 band eq is such an important piece of the puzzle...i m gonna get one
@@THRASHMETALFUNRIFFS i'm always having a tough time deciding the best pickup. I'm currently riding that duncan jb vibe and like it. Emg's might sound tighter but i can't stand them on leads, and something lower output like jeff waters does sometimes sounds like a passive that wants to be and emg.
@@aryinc Well, I'm afraid I don't know a lot about pickups, never changed any and my guitars just have what they came with but it's kind of nice because I just keep my same pedal settings but choose the guitar or use 2 different guitars for dual tracking to get a different feel to the sound depending on the song. My RR1 Rhodes has the Seymour Duncans and is great for classic Metallica type era, they're a bit noisier and more boosted in the mids I think than my LTD with the licensed type EMG copies which have a more modern scooped tone and noiseless for hard stops, heavy chugging and drop tuned HateBreed/Hemlock type covers. I prefer the Jackson more for solo's a lead stuff but mainly for the neck and whammy bar, the few leads or solo's I did with the LTD sound great to me but the neck is broader and flatter and just harder to play leads for some reason. But even my 2 no-name guitars with 30-60 year old rusted up pole cheap pick-ups I use in my Cheap V and BASS-VI have come through fine in the songs I did with those thanks to the BOSS ME-70 pedal and post EQ in the DAW
Not sure if you've read the Joel McIver book "... And Justice for All"? Apart from being an excellent book (only about early Metallica), it's also got extensive information and interviews with James and Kirk about their axes, amps, recording processes, how they found tones, etc. Highly recommended to all Metallica fans, especially guitarists!

When I heard Call of Ktulu I was just floored and went from glam metal (WASP, Poison, Motley Crue, Dokken) to Thrash. You nailed it so good. And you're right, there needs to be an in depth documentary on Ride the Lightning.
Sounds good man, some of my lifetime favorite riffs and WHOLY WOW that new V!!
I've had my eye on a RRX24-7 for some reason... Rhodes V with Floyd but 7 strings and 24 fret... mmmmmmmm
4:29 oh yeah you got that tone perfect you can really tell right here!
Sounds great. Ride the lightning is my favorite Metallica album. Beautiful Jackson.
I just love that his wife bought him that guitar. You’ve got a good one.
This is perfect.
I love the fact that you don't bury your tone in a mix... So refreshing many content creators make the same mistake over and over again by doing so... Great work
on the tour cycle for RTL, Kirk was using his 1984 Rhoads loaded with EMGs, so really not to far off with the pickup selection
Kirk didn't switch to EMG pickups until after recording MOP 👍
This makes my ears so happy. Summer of 1989 I ditched my skateboard, bought a Charvel 3DR and learned this album front to back. No TAB. No youtube. Just a tape deck and a whole lot of pressing rewind/stop/play!
That Jackson is absolutely stunning!
Great video we've come to expect! I, for one, really enjoy your creative style. Keep it up!
love the parrot, love the tone . Can he say "YEEEAHH OOOOOH !" like James ?
I can watch your videos for hours. Such an amazing material
NAILED IT !! I ve been chaising that tone on my own but i still can't get it. My Gear is a gibson flying v with emg81,tubescreamer, jcm800, 1960a.....it seems that a 6 band eq is such an important piece of the puzzle...i m gonna get one
i come to notice that a 6band eq might be one of the most crucial factors to a good tone.
EQ is awesome... even just BoSS MEtal zone adding the mid knob made it 40x more METAL
@@THRASHMETALFUNRIFFS i'm always having a tough time deciding the best pickup. I'm currently riding that duncan jb vibe and like it. Emg's might sound tighter but i can't stand them on leads, and something lower output like jeff waters does sometimes sounds like a passive that wants to be and emg.
@@aryinc Well, I'm afraid I don't know a lot about pickups, never changed any and my guitars just have what they came with but it's kind of nice because I just keep my same pedal settings but choose the guitar or use 2 different guitars for dual tracking to get a different feel to the sound depending on the song. My RR1 Rhodes has the Seymour Duncans and is great for classic Metallica type era, they're a bit noisier and more boosted in the mids I think than my LTD with the licensed type EMG copies which have a more modern scooped tone and noiseless for hard stops, heavy chugging and drop tuned HateBreed/Hemlock type covers. I prefer the Jackson more for solo's a lead stuff but mainly for the neck and whammy bar, the few leads or solo's I did with the LTD sound great to me but the neck is broader and flatter and just harder to play leads for some reason. But even my 2 no-name guitars with 30-60 year old rusted up pole cheap pick-ups I use in my Cheap V and BASS-VI have come through fine in the songs I did with those thanks to the BOSS ME-70 pedal and post EQ in the DAW
I’d maybe get the larger 18v 10 band for the loop. It’ll give better control but this 6 band has always been my favorite pedal
Got to the trapped under ice part. Thought, "Would be great if he plays my fav part." Nails it. Tone and playing perfect.
Time to subscribe.
Not sure if you've read the Joel McIver book "... And Justice for All"? Apart from being an excellent book (only about early Metallica), it's also got extensive information and interviews with James and Kirk about their axes, amps, recording processes, how they found tones, etc. Highly recommended to all Metallica fans, especially guitarists!
Wow thanks mate, I’ll find it 👊🏻

One of the best guitar bloggers!
I love how the lightning hit the bird 😂😂🤣🤣
Subscribed for the thunderhorse cover. Stayed for all of the other content. Great stuff.
Def Nailed that sound. My Favorite Metallica Album.
Fan-damn-tastic playing and tone. Thanks for this. I think this was my fastest sub ever.
I enjoyed a lot.
I wonder , i wish Metallica would adopt this tune in every coming live performances.
Closest Ive ever heard, and so simple. Great work man!
Metal bird 🙏🏽🙏🏽🤘
Yo this tone is so accurate! It’s a real pleasure to watch you play, thank you for the inspiration!
Who needs emulator plugins when you're the literal master of tone seeking?
I’ll tell you: people who can’t afford this kind of gear
@@fpcawolff I was talking about lamb chopper
This tone is spot on! Nice job M8
Fantastic as always. Have you’ve done any Boss Katana patches?
No sorry

truly masterful recreation. And with different equipment!
So much love behind this! Bravo!!
Enjoy the Jackson dude!! Pleasure to sell it to you, even though your wife bought it without you knowing! 🤣🤣
Well, this is cool as hell right here!
Hey cheers Clay, was a nice surprise. She came in to work and said there’s a strange noise coming from the back of the car.
It’s a shred machine with a perfect neck and tone. See you soon mate 👊🏻
Awesome axe! That's a great gift, man! And it sounds awesome!
You got a good wife for buying that guitar for you
Wow, that is by far the best replication I've ever heard for that tone.
