Capturing Metallica’s Load Era Guitar Tones – Mesa MkV-25 & Master Effects PMEQ


Had fun dialling this tone and jamming the riffs. The Master Effects PMEQ is a monster. They all have their own strengths and this one shines right here!

  • Those two albums don’t get the love they deserve. They were like a new, darker sort of southern hard rock

  • Thanks for video, your good bro! I grew up on early Metallica and Megadeth, so its a no brainer so just ordered this pedal. Into axe fx mark C++ is gonna be a dream come true! Mesa amp tones just make sense for playing Metallica and i understand better why they they play what they play. Reading/understaning music, great rhythm/lead TONES and shitloads of practice!!!

  • Awesome. You must have a great ear to be able to reverse engineer these tones

  • This is amazing man! I actually used my Boss GT100 and used the modern rectifier preamp and done some EQ'n similar to this and got a really close tone. You have a fantastic ear that's for sure. Would you ever attempt some of Metallicas more recent tones?

  • Would you consider a video with the master effects pmeq and the Marshall dsl20hr? I love how you create your tones and would love to hear your ideas with that combination. Thanks in advance and you rock my friend!!!

  • I would pay GOOD MONEY to have a tone session for the Garage Inc Mercyful Medley tone… absolutely krushing

  • Honestly the tone from load are just chunky asf! It worked so well with what they did, it was one of my fave tones from any albums outside of Metallica.

  • Lambchop, can you do Suicidal Tendancies Trip at the brain, or How can I laugh tomorrow. Both have similar but different tones. The latter has a real 80's surf/ Satriani/almost beach boys feel to it. Reckon you'd find it interesting to replicate.
