Boss Katana MkII Tones - Metallica's Ride The Lightning

The more I'm using this amp and working out how to manipulate the sound, the more I'm enjoying it and realising what's actually possible with it. I hope you enjoy the presets and I'll look forward to the new year!

there’s nothing i love more than the ride the lighting tone

[Xfroste]

That call of kthulu tone gave me chills. There’s something about that song that’s just magical, perhaps kthulu really does come through when you play those notes together with just the right tone.

Sorry for the bad info, I’ve been told there is an acoustic sim in the fx. I’ll be sure to check it out and get back to you all sorry 😊 I’m only new to this amp and software so there’s every chance I’ll say something stupid 😂
The presets playlist can be downloaded via links in the description or from the Boss Tone Exchange if you search for Lambchopper678.
Thanks so much for the love and support you all showed this year, have a merry new year or something and I'll see you all in the new year!!!
All the best

6:30 that bird tapping his little feet to call of kthulu is eveything

[Cold_Hearted_World]

Mate, that Fade To Black solo was epic. I can't believe how accurate you dial that tone in, bravo. 👏👏👏

[IrLosin]

It's cool when people can get the tone with the actual equipment, it's amazing when someone can take about anything and NAIL the tone. especially something as inexpensive as a Katana. You have a gift my man.

[robertb]

Your ability to capture tones is amazing. Sounds just like the record.

[TFAGuitar]

How you only have 126k subs is honestly incredible - deserves millions upon millions.

Another great video as always! Would love to see some Lamb of God on the Katana next in the series!

That one felt like going through my stuff from the teenage years: so full of memories. You make dads all over the world cry with nostalgia...

[palanthis]

That tone lends itself to the gallops incredibly well.

You're awesome dude, I don't think enough beginners (even after four years I still consider myself a beginner in the grand scheme of things) realize just how important good tone is for playing, I know for a fact most just turn up the gain and scoop the mids. The Tone Studio is absolutely fantastic for finding and making awesome sounds, and right now you're the best I've seen at it. I've used some of your tones on my 50W Mk II amp and they're top notch.

Wow. Just wow. Ride the Lightning is probably my second favorite album of all time, right behind Master of Puppets. I also own a Katana and never got anywhere near this close to a Metallica tone. After this video and your video getting Dimebag tones from the 5150 III, I’ve gotta step up my tonefinding game!

[freaksarise]

wow this one hit a spot for me man. This album, tone, and playing affected me in such a positive inspiring way as a kid and this brought it all back. Your abilities to shape a tone in post and pre gain stages are strong. Unlike any on YT. Thanks and Merry Christmas!

[guskalogeros]

What can I say that hasn’t been said time and time again.
You are incredible at getting these tones to sound EXACTLY like the recordings.
Unreal!!

[PERPowns]

Ride the Ligthning is the only Metallica album I ever truly loved and you nailed the tones prerty well here! Another great vid

[thethirstygoose]

My Aussie brother.. I'm so glad I found this channel. I've been trying to get these tones for years, but copping these mad songs as demos of the tones is an absolute bonus. Special mentions to the Hill and Valalley on the wall. We are definitely the same vintage mate. Love the crunch🍺🤘

[Adamfromky]

Hey dude, most of yours are REALLY close but I swear any time you do something thrash related you straight up nail the tone. This legitimately sounds like the guitar tracks from the album. Cheers dude. I've been glad to have your videos back in my feed.

[groopuskul]

by far the best video about Ride the lightning tone

[thomasanderson]

Soooo many memories!! one of the seminal albums of my growing up and as a young guitar player!! Killer job man.

[TheMetalGamer]

Man you are getting crushing tones out of this amp!! I didn’t think it was possible to get that chug and crunch from the katana but you did it! Look forward to more tones from this amp may just convince me into getting one
