Poll! Is this tone too Classic for Metallica?

[Motorpud]

I'd like to hear it with more volume. Right now it doesn't have enough low end and its not compressed enough. I wonder if it were cranked up would it fatten up a little and get more saturated? If not....boost it

Yes great tone , but I was thinking the exact thing as psychodave.
Too dry, needs saturation...& a bit too classic sounding.

For that stuff I'd use a Mesa Mk series or a Recto. Thats what they used and the Mk III through V are killer amps.

no balls,

its got a killer plexi vibe though. Zeppelin would sound good with that tone or AC/DC & ZZ top.

that VH4S nailed that Metallica sound.

we're all waiting for the boosted clip todd. Get your butt to work, eager ears wait!

Sounds much too good to sound like Metalica.

Here is my Wizard Metal w/ a Master Volume: (Gain set low)

Metallic used this type of tone on "Garage Days" and the "Load" & "Reload" cd's. (Hetfield has a Modern Classic head he used- the Metal is basically an early version of the Modern Classic)

The tone is quite different than the Vintage Classic that I posted the Enter Sandman riff with. The Modern Classic and Metal are better for Modern Metal/Hard Rock.

The point of this thread though was how a Vintage inspired amp sounds doing something heavy and more modern. (Metallica for example)

Going direct in w/ no pedals to a 50 watt non-master volume Wizard Vintage Classic. Does the tone sound heavy enough for Metallica? Or does it sound too Classic?

If it were double/triple tracked, I think it could sound pretty close. It sounds good this way too, though.
