Metallica — Nothing Else Matters
Nails the clean fingerpicked intro. Keep the amp fully clean and let the guitar dynamics do the work. Neck pickup, tone rolled back slightly on the guitar.
Metallica — Master of Puppets
The Hetfield plugin is purpose-built for this. Load the Puppets preset as a base. Heavily scooped mids, tight bass, and massive gain.
Metallica — Enter Sandman
Classic JCM800 pushed hard with a Tube Screamer in front. The key is the Tube Screamer tightening the low end before the amp.
Pink Floyd — Comfortably Numb
Gilmour used a Hiwatt DR103 into WEM cabs. The Big Muff fuzz is essential for that sustained, singing lead tone. Add generous delay and hall reverb.
Pink Floyd — Wish You Were Here
The clean fingerpicked intro uses a Strat into a Fender clean. Keep everything pristine — no distortion, gentle reverb only.
John Mayer — Slow Dancing in a Burning Room
Mayer uses a Two-Rock into a Dumble. A Fender Deluxe Reverb pushed into light breakup gets very close. Neck pickup, medium pick attack.
