hey whats up man, if you are looking for james hetfields tone look no futher than MESA/BOOGIE. he uses a tri axis with a strategy 400 power amp and a triple rec. marshall doesnt have enough balls for that sound that is why he doesnt use them since ride the lightning. and here is another secret to his tone, he doesnt scoop out the mids, he has a graphic eq hooked up to his amps and when you look at the eq bands there is a band numbered 400k , which is on any graphic eq, he cuts the 400k down low but the mids on his amps are half way up (5) treble (9) bass(6) gain(7or8) that gives him that definition and low end without making it muddy like when you just dip out the mids, everything else on the eq is at zero or a little boosted, but nothing drastic. try that on a descent amp and let me know how it turns out. later man.
