Capturing James Hetfield's Hardwired Guitar Tone - EVH 5150iii
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- Hey thanks again for tuning in, it's an interesting tone that's really similar to what was also used on Death Magnetic. In a way, it's a really pure tone that requires absolute precision to execute without showing all your mistakes and uneven pick attack.
James is a beast!!!

Idea : Seattle 89 tone
Awesome idea!
That tone is to die for!
Another idea: Rocky George tone Suicidal style

I find it kinda funny that despite having all the money in the world to build up guitar rigs, they haven't just gotten all the stuff together to use that tone live today. It'd honestly probably be easier to work than their current Axe FX set up, even it was more complex, they're Metallica, I'm sure they could figure it out
For those wondering, Hetfield’s Hardwired tone was 3 amps blended...
1. Mesa Mk2C+ (Crunch Berries)
2. Diezel VH-4
3. Wizard Modern Classic
There’s an interview with Greg Fidelman out there discussing the album and he covers how they got to that tone on the album
Man I'm 56 years old and James' riffs still make me want to mosh into a wall. So simple yet so inspiring, to me at least. You capture his essence and just make me want to play more. It's 8am in the states and I think my wife wouldn't appreciate me blasting it thru the house. I'll give her another 15 minutes. Great as always. Thanks.
Haha I agree
We hear these riffs through your tone and realize "hey, these are actually very good riffs!"
Yeah, the riff quality is pretty good, but the whole package is a bit odd. Hard to explain.
Ehh, they sound like what someone trying to imitate Metallica without the creativity would sound like, James put a lot of weak/mediocre shit in there
@@_ProTrax i admit Hardwired overall sounds kinda bland in a way that many songs there sounds like they are just forced (except Spit Out the Bone and Dream No More they are actually great songs)
plus the guitar tone, it sounds so average and dull
bands and producers *spends forever sculpting a tone and spends tens of thousands on amps and simulators to perfect it*
lambChopper "any high gain amp will do for this"
love it
Seattle 89 tone would be awesome, I love those live tones
1:40 lamb: “...sounds really tight and really focused...” parrot: “Right!”
Wow! I never realized how razor precise James’s rhythm was on that album! Great job capturing and playing it!
James has always been razor precise with his rhythm. The man is a god at rhythm playing
Gary Holt be knowing where the good shit is! Cheers! 🍻
Makes me proud to be another Gary H.!!!
Sepultura- Beneath the Remains.....🤘🤘🤘
👍🤟🍺
The tone shall 'arise!'
Nicely done, as always. 30 years playing the guitar and I still have to be reminded that adjusting and tweaking and experimenting with the gear I have should always be the first step before buying something new.
I like how you break things down to a simple level shareing the idea of how to acheive the tone.
You have now become my favorite channel for Guitar related equipment and covers.
Dude...you're an artist. The intro with Gary says it all. Thank you so much for doing what you do. You're underrated, as far as your channel goes. 🤘💀🤘
You described that perfectly! "You have to be precise with your picking." James is amazing! James and Kirk never have the same guitar tone on Metallica albums. I like how they always try new things!
other than the Loads and St Anger, James has played both rhythm tracks in every Metallica album.
Extremely close as always 🤘
You should take a crack at the south of heaven tone 🔥
Lambchopper uploaded my day is complete.
I really appreciate your effort and understanding for us who all drool over these tones that you’ve replicated! Cheers Mate!
I love their midfocused thump sound, it still feels like all the instruments have a place that works with each other yet the production still makes everyone stand out
That’s a great tone to use to keep your right hand from getting lazy that’s for sure! Really makes you work for saturation! More great content!
I like this tone even though its unforgiving you hear the guitar so clearly. Hey I have some tones for you to consider. 1. Metal Church blessing in disguise 2. Deftones adrenaline 3. Queensryche operation mindcrime 4. Faith No More the real thing 5. Alterbridge black bird 6. System Of A Down toxicity 7. Queens Of The Stone Age songs for the deaf. All these have cool guitar tones that I bet you could crack.
They’re all cool albums
You did it again ! Entertaining AND informative ! Always a pleasure to watch and hear your videos .
This is my favorite of his tones. Very clean and precious. It really lets his remarkable picking hand technique to come through. It allows the percussive nature of the riffs to really come through nicely. This is a tone that doesn't fatigue the ears and doesn't have a ceiling volume wise. It allows a huge sonic spectrum. Very nice.
(and I am a drummer btw)
The evh 5150 is my dream amp, hopefully I will be able to get one sometime
Great stuff. The ZW overdrive is supposedly modelled on the SD-1, as the SD-1 was Zakk's stompbox of choice in the 80s & 90s.
Even though I can't personally stand James's newer tone, I think you were really in the ballpark with it. That said, he still writes some amazing riffs, and like you said, it doesn't matter what you play through, it's how you setup your signal chain. Another great vid, thank you.
what a great sound on this album
This is ABSOLUTELY one of the ultimate guitar channels on UA-cam! 🤙👏👊 Well done !
Using the "Het-Set" EMG pickups automatically makes everything sound more Hetfield. That pickup set along with with the Dimebucker are the only pickups I've heard that truly make a huge difference
Mustaine’s thrash factors
@@jguitar5801 how much different are they really from a normal JB / Jazz set?
I am buying a EVH 5150 mark 3 6L6 for playing small live gigs. Wow it is such a versatile amp! You have proven you can get many famous and sought after guitar tones with this amp or any other high gain amp. I was more impressed with how clear the tone is and not so muddy. Thanks keep them coming i would love for you to do a vid on the Ride the Lightning sound with the EVH 5150 and a TS9 or SD-1 in front pushing it.
I’m not sure if it’ll sound as good the Marshall for lightning. Killer amp though, super versatile.
I think it’s great the way your able to explain and elaborate on the different settings and gear you use.. you’ve a very in-depth knowledge and ear for the tones your after.. keep it up man
It amazes me how you are able to replicate such tones with simplicity, your knowledge of amps and effects is on point man! I have been watching this tone capture series on repeat for months, and let me tell you it has helped me to tune in myself for such songs I love to play, I never used my FX loop for instance (but now I know!!)... thank you for sharing all this knowledge and keep up the good work, I really appreciate the time and effort your put into these videos!!! Cheers and keep on rocking mate!!!!!
Here's a challenge for you - Try see if you can match Slipknot's tone for Iowa. :)
Disgusting tone \m/
Awesome as always. I'd love to see you tackle The System Has Failed tone as well, it's pretty unique and the songs are kickass as well. Keep rockin'!
Nice job, always spot on tone and the guitar playing👌 just awesome🤘🤘
2:58 lmao nice analogy
Thanks my friend!
Awesome dude! These tone videos are really great! I'd be very curious to hear your take on the South Of Heaven or Christ Illusion guitar tone (yes, I love Slayer). After seeing all your Marshall tone videos I'm definitely convinced to get a DSL20HR! Cheers from Italy and keep it metal!
Both awesome tones and albums right there. This DSL20H is perfect for any slayer fan
Mate thank you. Thank you for this video, and thank you for the Amplitube 4 patches that I downloaded a couple of weeks ago; they are just so spot on. You are a legend. I hope you come back to YT soon.
I think I finally understand the logic in this video. Because I finally understood how Mark series amps work. The knobs on the Mark series James uses are before the preamp so they shape the distortion character, exactly what you do in this video😊. I think Mesa would have made it a lot easier for idiots like me if they would call the bass knob „Tightness“ the mid knob „attack“ and the treble knob „Saturation“. I was always confused between the pre eq and the 5 graphic eq Band.
By the way stellar playing and killer tone !!! Greetings from Germany 🤘🤘
You’re like a scientist ! A 6 string scientist !
The fact that a Metallica tone video has no dislikes and over 1k likes means this is just too perfect. Well done!!!
Brilliant sound man, absolutely nailed it. Would really love it if you could do some Modern Hetfield tones on the Katana amp.
Love your playin man, just great ! 👊🏻 💀 👊🏻
Can you do Megadeth - Kick The Chair or Pentagram - Apokalips tone? I love tone of this songs its very strong and tough.
You should have 1M subscribers.
I also prefer the EMGs on the Lamb guitar over the Het Set in the Jackson. Though I'm partial to the 80s/early 90s Metallica tones as are most old school Metallica fans. I enjoy your videos, brother! Been subbed for years, keep shredding!
Awesome as usual man! Great work!
Spot on as always . The 5.98 ep tone would be cool to see you do
Another great video 👍
great work
This serie is very interesting. Continue !
Since you have tried out the modern album Metallica tone, i'm really interested in hearing if you can capture their live tone on that 5150. If you want to give it a try, then you can catch a snippet of James current tone when they played Battery for Howard Stern. As far as I understand, James uses a combination of the IIC++ and Diezel VH4, and it is a very unique sound.
Hardwired had a third amp. The WiZard Modern Classic also 🤘🏼
@@Justice_Hammer James also started using the Wizard amps in the late nineties around Garage Inc.
@@emmarossignol4445 yep, that’s pretty much the amp responsible for the Garage inc tone that a lot of people like.
Live rigs have switched to Axe FX now so he might have snuck some Wizard into his Mesa/ Diezel blend on the new system.
Awesome video brother.....love your channel....james uses the deizel vh4 head...amazing amp. Expensive for sure, but no other amp sounds like a deizel.
Another great video from the master of awesome metal tones :D
Would love to see how you get the AJFA tone on the EVH iii
I like your recreation better than the original album's tone! It's a bit more punchy, and I'd bet it'd be more clear in the mix as well.
Great album love it
Solid Playing @LambChopper678
Great you are the New James. !
I am fucking loving these videos!
Great stuff. Can you do also In Flames Clayman guitar tone as you already did some song covers from that album ?
Killer video boss! I was wondering, is there a particular reason to run the noise suppressor in the FX loop vs after the EQ and OD? Also does the order of the EQ and OD matter in the front of the amp?
Yeah the NS-2 can be used for the front end and effects loop at the same time. I find some effects loops have a little noise and eq’s tend to add a bit themselves. The order of effects changes the tone entirely. In this case running the od after the eq loses that tight thump
Hit the like button before the video loaded. Knew it was gonna be good \m/
Do one for evile's enter the grave
This is spot on man!
Suggestion for a video in the future: Dimebag’s tone on Far Beyond Driven
Definitely, I need to wait for something to arrive
@@LambChopper678 aight, cool. Looking forward to it!
James hetfield said he wanted to play drums on guitar. So when you said kick drum it just clicked
Do the Dethalbum by Dethklok next
“it almost sounds like a COD hit marker”
you’re a legend 😂
Jackson rocks very cleaner. I didn’t like emg pick ups since I heard about them. I am gibson SG spacial 2012 owner and it really rocks with stock pick ups.
I'm trying to buy an Dean Z 79' in cherry with a Floyd Rose and put Seymour Duncan SH4 JB pickups or invaders in it. Right now I'm playing my single coil strat which is such a f**king beast for Power Metal and Neoclassical Metal shredding. I just want an explorer shaped guitar to look cool even though Neoclassical Metal shredders don't commonly use explorers or V's because Fender and Ibanez are the best for shredding in a Paul Gilbert and Yngwie Malmsteen way.
The bird is the word
Awesome Man, WOW, iI cant believe how shallow the tones are for those Metallica Riffs
I would love to see you take a crack at the mid-late 90's era tones. Load and ReLoad are weird and have a stigma about them but they have some of my favorite Metallica guitar tones, even Garage Inc. I imagine your Mesa or that EVH would get the closest. That was when they were really experimenting almost song by song with amp setups so it would be interesting. I know James at least started using Wizard amps around that time which he still likes to this day.
You made me check out the Testament Brotherhood of the Snake album. Thank you so much.
It’s so good, all the recent albums since Formation have been amazing.
Brotherhood of the Snake is their best album, period. 🔥😈
It's interesting you didn't use the Mesa. But than again, as you said. It doesn't really matter what amp you use. If it's high gain, it's good.
Because it's the Hardwired tone not the Black Album James has been using Rectifiers and Diezels for the last few albums whiich are basically modified Marshall tones albeit thicker. A Mesa Mark amp will not deliver those tones it's circuit is very different from a Marshall. 99% of all high gain amps have their circuit design based on a Marshall thats what he means by "Any high gain amp"
Nailed it!! Nicely done!! Have you done one for load? I love that tone!
You should do a video on Jerry Cantrell’s tone! 🤘
Another great vid! Would love to hear some Fear Factory or Megadeth Youthanasia!
Great work 🤘🏻can you do a Capturing the tone of the GOJIRA please 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Stranded/silvera etc
Awesome! Makes me wanna play hard wired 😬👍🏼
Sounds awesome man, I just subscribed. I’m gonna try this on my EVH 5150 iii 15 LBX-S, but it doesn’t have a blue channel so I might have to make some adjustments. I think the green channel on my stealth becomes similar to the blue channel once you put the gain past noon but don’t quote me on that. I’ve never owned any other EVH amps and I just got this lunchbox Stealth.
COD Hitmarker lol Never been too big of a fan of James’ latest tones, as you said, they don’t have much body em. Almost reminds me of a Kill Em All kinda tone maybe? Idk, great vid as always tho 🤘🤘
Dissection's guitar tone from The Somberlain or Storm of the lights bane would be cool
Not really a fan of this album. But it's nice to know what amp settings are being used and how to get the right tones. I was wondering are you a fan of the John Bush Anthrax era ? thanks for the video mate.
Thea Real deal and most challenging is to get the live tone !
Damn that's pretty close
pretty sure James used a blend of his diezel vh4 and Mark 2c++
Bird was getting sleepy at the end.
Can you do some George Lynch tones?
Some Overkill stuff please 🙏🎸🤘
Halo is my favorite song to play of all time and I was upset when you almoooost didn't play it!
Awesome. I like the riffs on HW but not the tone so much. Still this is excellent stuff as always.
Hey, James do you approve? Awesome as always🤟
It really does leave lots of room for the bass guitar while keeping the punch of the guitars.
Nice work as always. What cabs do you use in the captor x? Great piece of gear.
I’ll start adding the profiles to my google drive with a link in the description moving forwards
100% Hetfield! Good job!
The Moth riff is F F E.
Do Hatebeed - The Rise of Brutality, pure Marshall brutality goodness!
I think I've never clicked so fast 😂
Can u see if you can get a Marshall 8100 valvestate and dial in some sick tones on one of those too? They are pretty cheap and a real bang for your buck.
I was wondering if you could do a video on how to utilize an EQ in the effect loop in your personal opinion ?
I'm currently trying to get something close to a Hetfield tone from Enter Sandman or their self-titled album era on my DSL 20.
