berthemoose yes, i think i'll buy this amp one day, im very fan from Metallica, specially from James, he inspires me to keep pushing like a rythim guitarrists (i want to be lead but, i think un not ready, but i want to make solos, i also want to have fun with the wah pedal)
@@deasnutz4ever that's not what my Mk III++ says, especially when throwing in a PEQ. They call Mk's tweakers amps for a reason. You can get a million different metal tones.
Lukas Zylka Hetfield himself said It's 2222, they play 2222 live, and It's unmistakably 2222 from the isolated Guitar track. 2323 came from the official Tab book that got that wrong back in the 80s i think.
The Master of Puppets tone was great. Not exactly spot on, but the tone is literally what my ideal dream tone is. Scooped, yet barky in the high mids. Love it man, keep rocking!
Thanks! Yeah that one was tricky since James used passive pickups on that album and I used the same guitar with an EMG 57 for all the Metallica stuff, so it will never have quite the same upper-mid bark (in addition to all the other variables listed). Glad you liked, though!
Danjoker i didnt say anything about the songwriting, this is solely about the guitar tone. what im saying is that the black album tone is better than the justice tone
Wow, you pretty much nailed it here. Black and Puppets especially. I haven't really spent enough time playing with the Mark 4. I have gotten Puppets-ish tone with my Mark IIB and a Marshall 1960a cab. Not exact and certainly not as close as yours, but you could say in the same spirit.
This is actually so darn cool, Matt. You should definitely do more videos like these where you jam out to your influences. I absolutely adore some of the tones you get, and the new album was arguably the best in terms of production. Killer Dyers Eve by the way, that was always my favorite from that record.
Inner child overjoyed! Simply brilliant. I second the comments about sharing how you dialed in the tones, mostly with the Mark IV since everyone's using dif DAWs and gear.
Woa awesome bro you killed it! Matt... I knew when I first heard your music you were undoubtedly influenced by bands like Metallica, especially in Theocracy’s galloping riffs like Hetfields. Of course making them completely your own... love it man!!! And adding such a spiritual depth in a very unique and powerful way... I can only applaud your musicianship creativity and exemplary integrity. Thanks for the great music brotha! Keep doing what you’re doing!
What a beast! No surprise that Metallica is a shared favorite. I have the ATWB shirt you signed for me. Matt. The "M" for Matt looks a bit jagged...reminds me of a certain logo ;)
Nice. The tones on the Black Album (especially in "Sad But True") are probably some of my favorite tones from any album, but of course I like the composition of Master and Justice better. You got so close to those tones - makes me wish I had a Mark IV. I had a Triple Rec but foolishly sold it because I couldn't figure out how to dial in a good tone (my first tube amp :D). Very cool to see the composer/vocalist for my top favorite band playing riffs from my second favorite band. Love the new album BTW. It's still a sensory overload when I play it.
Holy SHIT, man! You did your due diligence here, & absolutely rocked those tones (& riffs) with precision & attention to detail! Bravo, really. Exemplary work!
This tone is amazing. Do you mind disclosing the exact details of how you achieved it, treb, bass, presence, volume, gain, EQ, and all other settings? Also, what mics and everything else did you use for recording? I purchased a Mesa Roadster a few years back and have been driven nuts trying to find a tone that I'm satisfied with but to no avail. The closest I've come to enjoying my tone has been through boosting the 3rd channel with a Maxon OD808. Anyway - your input would be appreciated. Thanks!
I love and hate these videos at the same time. I love them because the tones are spot on and I hate them because they never show you how to dial in the tone >:(
I have a Mark IV head coming in Friday and I hope to be jamming some of the same tone.. great video! So ya just have an EQ pedal added ?? What amp settings ya have ?
Very good tones! I like them all. Have you used built in EQ or an additional unit? How does Mark V compares to Mark IV? Which one is better according to you?
I think the IV has a bit more raw sound but the V is very close. The difference for me is that the V is a lot better for mid-gain tones and a bit tighter and more modern sounding. Having said that, I find that speaker choice has a bigger impact on tone.
Could you pls share your amp settings at least for Master, maby Black one too? Boogies are so tweakable and I think i got it close but i dont quite understand lead drive, imput gain and all those gain knobs. P.S. Awesooome video bro!
lol I thought 'Wow this guy looks like a vocalist from Theocracy' and then I saw a t-shirt.. and then I saw a channel's name. I enjoyed listening your podcast with Neal Morse :)
wooo that master of puppets sound !!! I loved watching you play dyers eve ! I remember trying and failing to play it when I was younger, I should definitely give it a try now.
Part of the goal for this video, I assume, was to promote Theocracy and as such, I am now going to check the band out. Excellent guitar work, it's obvious you're extremely talented.
This was really a joy to watch. What settings were you using? I'm going to record an album with my band soon and I have a Mesa Boogie as well to record with. Great playing, great video. Keep up the good work. Cheers :).
The amp settings were basically the same as in this video: th-cam.com/video/3VrPE-Oa6aw/w-d-xo.html I only tweaked the lead drive and graphic EQ slightly from tone to tone. The bigger changes were to the parametric EQ in the loop, and obviously the cabs and mics.
Do you think one could achieve a similar tone with a Mark IV combo? The heads are harder to find, and im wondering if an open backed combo will still get me in the ballpark.
Man, Cliff really knew not only how to play bass guitar, but also how to play electric guitar. Then again, he played the bass like one. it's weird how two of the tones he tried out sounded like ...And Justice for All and The Black Album though.
I have just been schooled. Was looking at the new JPc2 but there crazy expensive. I see MK4 all the time on Craigslist Maybe I will pick on up now. Sounds great man. I had a triaxis trying to get the same thing an it needed a couple outboard peaces to get it even close but I think you nailed it about as good as any one could. Master of puppets was my favorite album of all time cause of the tone. I got excited as soon as I heard your tone :)
well done, especially because it's a real sound and not a simulation ;) I'd like to get similar tones, I have a diezel Herbert that is totally different from mesa tones. which tool/equipment would you suggest me to get in order to shape the tone toward a 'tallica sound/s? I mean the album you just covered in this video. An equaliser? thanx in advance! cool guitars, I had the edwards lp as well years ago ;)
This guy actually downpicks. Fuck yeah.
danman77220 Same here man!
Using Down-and-up picking for Downpicking parts is sacrilegious.
well if it sounds good we dont give a shit
enter sandman sounded almost identical
berthemoose they all did!
berthemoose yes, i think i'll buy this amp one day, im very fan from Metallica, specially from James, he inspires me to keep pushing like a rythim guitarrists (i want to be lead but, i think un not ready, but i want to make solos, i also want to have fun with the wah pedal)
Wow. It does
these are really bloody close, good work!
and now imagine layering four guitars with that tone
asmo_192 mindblown
10*
Exactly, the infamous "wall of guitars"
ptschafer Man, i love that sound. It's so heavy and tight.
@@thalamusDecimation nothing like megadeth
And justice for all sounded so perfect I love it so much
Definitely bro!
Proving once again that Hetfield has the best right hand in Metal ever.
Robert Frias seriously it’s all in the picking as soon as I saw his picking I knew it would never come close no matter how close the amp tone is
Chris Adler >>>
And what about kirk?
You should show us how you dialed in these tones
agreed
It’s pretty easy with about any Mark series Boogie.
@@deasnutz4ever that's not what my Mk III++ says, especially when throwing in a PEQ. They call Mk's tweakers amps for a reason. You can get a million different metal tones.
@@JD-mn7sv Basically (Master of Puppets)
Gain: 10
Bass: 6
Mid: 4
Treble: 9½ or 10
Reverb: 0
Master: 4
Lead Drive: 7½
Lead Master: 2
Please do a video on how to dial in the settings for each tone
Ajfa tone was badass! Loved when you played Dyers Eve
MackdiddleGaming really nice
tone, but the Riff ist like

Lukas Zylka I don't think it is
SkorpionPlays - Destiny i have The Original Tab book at Home, it really is! :)
Lukas Zylka the tab book is false
Lukas Zylka Hetfield himself said It's 2222, they play 2222 live, and It's unmistakably 2222 from the isolated Guitar track. 2323 came from the official Tab book that got that wrong back in the 80s i think.

TheocracyMatt probably would've sounded closer if you used an 81 especially on the AJFA and black album tones. Great vids btw!
TheocracyMatt He used Gibson 1984 explorers,Jackson JS32 king V and his old Gibson V for the recording of Master Of Pupets.
NOT
@@МаркоПетков-к8к not a js32, they have bolt on necks, his was neck through. Also not a Gibson V it was an Electra
Fucking beautiful tone man
bakerXderek Oh shit waddup
holy shit wassup fam
I keep seeing you in all the videos I watch. Pretty awesome. You have good taste in vids haha. chhheah!
bakerXderek CHEAH!
bakerXderek cheaah!
ohhh fuck me, that And justice for all tone is everything!!
Danjoker
the giant hrrrnng that is sad but trues tone kills justice
the hammer of justice crushes you and you sad tone. lol
ArmorWolves gaming
at least the black album tone has bass
song-writing quality > production quality
Danjoker i didnt say anything about the songwriting, this is solely about the guitar tone. what im saying is that the black album tone is better than the justice tone
You look like Cliff Burton.
I thought the same thing
? ...
only in the thumbnail
Myles kenedy
It would be honour, to look like cliff... RIP
Tones are practically spot on. Nice work.
Great tone man!
Wow, you pretty much nailed it here. Black and Puppets especially. I haven't really spent enough time playing with the Mark 4. I have gotten Puppets-ish tone with my Mark IIB and a Marshall 1960a cab. Not exact and certainly not as close as yours, but you could say in the same spirit.
I'd say you're as close to the real thing as it gets without using an impulse or EQ matching of any sort
That black album tone.. damn! Impressive!
This is actually so darn cool, Matt. You should definitely do more videos like these where you jam out to your influences. I absolutely adore some of the tones you get, and the new album was arguably the best in terms of production. Killer Dyers Eve by the way, that was always my favorite from that record.
Why you don't show your setting on Amp Mesa and Eq in the loop? What Mics did you used and Cab and Hp?
Matt, these tones are soooo close. Amazing! Love the new album btw. Been a Theocracy fan for many years.
Inner child overjoyed! Simply brilliant. I second the comments about sharing how you dialed in the tones, mostly with the Mark IV since everyone's using dif DAWs and gear.
Didn't know that Cliff was still alive...
And Playing Guitar
@@lan2941 cliff wrote many of his riffs with guitar
@@jimbo396 yep
YESSSSSS finally someone played master of puppets correctly
No Potato couldn't nail Dyer's Eve though.
No Potato It's actually incorrect...the first three descending chords (D, C#, C) are never done at the 5th fret . Always at the 12th, on the E string!
MrMustard thank you! It bothers me so much when people play it like that
But it’s the same notes so I doesn’t matter to much
They are just following the transcription in the guitar book.
Woa awesome bro you killed it! Matt... I knew when I first heard your music you were undoubtedly influenced by bands like Metallica, especially in Theocracy’s galloping riffs like Hetfields. Of course making them completely your own... love it man!!! And adding such a spiritual depth in a very unique and powerful way... I can only applaud your musicianship creativity and exemplary integrity. Thanks for the great music brotha! Keep doing what you’re doing!
Such a nice amp. Great playing as well mate!
...And Jam Tracks For All i think he plays with a software app like bias effects or bias tone but if not I agree with you 😊
Man, your tone is always just so killer
Keep these videos coming matt! they are awesome!
You really need to share your secret EQ fórmula so we can finally sound like Metallica Matt!
What a beast! No surprise that Metallica is a shared favorite. I have the ATWB shirt you signed for me. Matt. The "M" for Matt looks a bit jagged...reminds me of a certain logo ;)
I think that the tones are really close because he played them really tight and right and they are dialed correctly.
Awesome!!!🤘
Got to say that the Mark IV is problaly my fav. mark amp

Fucking sweet playing bro you make Dyers Eve sound so effortless, my fingers hurt even thinking about it!
DON'T FORGET GUYS, TONE IS IN THE HANDS EVEN THOUGH HIS GUITARS SOUND EXACTLY LIKE ON THE ALBUM
Holy SHIT, man! You did your due diligence here, & absolutely rocked those tones (& riffs) with precision & attention to detail! Bravo, really. Exemplary work!
Without a doubt the absolute best sounding stand-alone head there is. Second is the Mark IIC++.
It's insane, the tone is so close to being identical, i honestly wouldn't have noticed that if the unforgiven/sandman track was on the original album.
I love my IV. Next best thing to a IIC+.
Sounds great! Matt is the man Theocracy rocks! Cant wait to buy the new CD.
You are one clean and precise rhythm guitar player. You got great chops too.
Absolutly the best sound of Metallica..Awesome work study for best sound!
This tone is amazing. Do you mind disclosing the exact details of how you achieved it, treb, bass, presence, volume, gain, EQ, and all other settings? Also, what mics and everything else did you use for recording?

A ten band eq should help you alot
Makes me long for the days I used to follow Metallica from city to city [almost]. I cant live that life, anymore, but still...
Beautiful, fantastical-magical. LOVED the color choices for the Guits...
Your tones are much better. Nice vid. Thanks for posting!
Just brought a Mesa Boogie Mark IV head last night . The seller also had the rackmount for it too...!!!
I love and hate these videos at the same time. I love them because the tones are spot on and I hate them because they never show you how to dial in the tone >:(
I have a Mark IV head coming in Friday and I hope to be jamming some of the same tone.. great video! So ya just have an EQ pedal added ?? What amp settings ya have ?

Theocracy Matt! You just gained another fan! I'll be checking out Theocracy's discography!
Great job!
awesome tones. you play very well!! i have a triaxis. what setting did you use in the Mark ? thanks !!
Yes! Tone is great, playing spot on!!! Good job man!
Can you share what the amp settings, and the cab, mic, and EQ you used for this? And how did you dial in the EQ for each album? Thanks. Great job!
the mix sounds awesome! the right drum sound definately helps!!
Black Album and MOP sounded nailed on to me, your rhythm playing is superb too, awesome video :)
Great video and nice playing ! but its such a shame that there is no settings or gear in the description.
spot on
Can you put the gear/settings used?
Dude that was awesome man. Nice playing
Awesome work dude. You nailed it. Many youtubers want to reach the "Metallica sound" but don't get to it. You reached the goal. Keep on rocking
Amazing! Sounds awesome! How are the different EQ settings for different albums?
These tones are epic! Great work. I own the Mark V 35 and I play on the Mark IV mode, could you share your knob and EQ settings?
lol I thought 'Wow this guy looks like a vocalist from Theocracy' and then I saw a t-shirt.. and then I saw a channel's name. I enjoyed listening your podcast with Neal Morse :)
wooo that master of puppets sound !!! I loved watching you play dyers eve ! I remember trying and failing to play it when I was younger, I should definitely give it a try now.
Damn nice and close Black album tone using a Mark IV. He used a Marck IIc++ w/ a Jose Modded Marshall and took weeks dialing it in. Incredible tone!
Can you tell us the settings for the black album tone and witch nobs pushed or pulled for the mark 4
Part of the goal for this video, I assume, was to promote Theocracy and as such, I am now going to check the band out. Excellent guitar work, it's obvious you're extremely talented.
Excellent tone, and your playing is very clean and tight!
Nice job! Excited to hear the new disc this week!
You play all those riffs perfectly!
Great job
Ara Nalbandian are you handing me the pick of destiny???
This was really a joy to watch.

all i can say its fucking amazing and your playing is so damn good. just everything about this is
Τhis is SO helpful , especially these days everyone is digging into Metallica prods to search for the "right sound" light !!
This is fucking great.
I would like to know how the presence, and EQ were dialed.
Absolutely 100% flawless
Awesome video. Any chance you'd like to post settings?
Do you think one could achieve a similar tone with a Mark IV combo? The heads are harder to find, and im wondering if an open backed combo will still get me in the ballpark.
Here's the Master!
Matt, Which EQ did you use in the loop may I ask? Thanks! Clips sound killer..
Best metallica tones on youtube. All the other tone videos are some bullshit tones made with guitar rig. This is LEGIT.
Man, Cliff really knew not only how to play bass guitar, but also how to play electric guitar. Then again, he played the bass like one. it's weird how two of the tones he tried out sounded like ...And Justice for All and The Black Album though.
Great job! Now, for the love of God, what Seymour Duncan pickups were used in that Explorer/Mesa Mark IV video from 2014??!!!
Also, can you post the EQ/rear panel switch configuration?
SH-6 Duncan Distortion :)
Sure: Harmonics/Pentode/Simul/Presence pushed

Daaaamn, you started with The Unforgiven, my favorite from Metallica😍😍😍😍
Man just discovering your channel. Wish I had half of your rhythm skills or half of your ability to dial tones... or half of your gear!
I didn’t know you played guitar before finding your channel, but dang those wishing well riffs look hard
Amazing,Matt! God bless!
Tight, accurate metal rhythms. This is not seen on YT every day.
dude that was clean as🤘
It’s been 2 years and still no settings video for this, despite popular demand? Ts, ts, ts...
Can you please tell me the Barand/Model of those monitors with the yellow woofers? Iv'e always wondered! Killer Tones!
Can you show the settings for Master sound? I am having tough time dialing it in on mine.
That was extremely impressive, holy crap
All that from a Mark IV...Got some bark n' bite!
well done, especially because it's a real sound and not a simulation ;) I'd like to get similar tones, I have a diezel Herbert that is totally different from mesa tones. which tool/equipment would you suggest me to get in order to shape the tone toward a 'tallica sound/s?
