James mostly employed the JCM 800 while Kirk used a combination of the SLP (Kill ‘Em All), later switching to a JCM 800 (Ride the Lightning).

Metallica also performed a tremendous live show in Toulouse, France on Novem(one of the few recorded with late bassist Cliff Burton) that they offer a free download of on their website.Īt this time, both James and Kirk were using Marshall rigs modified by Jose Arrendondo, a guy who’s modded amps for a number of guitar greats from Eddie Van Halen to Steve Vai. Early Years (1983 – 1985)ĭuring this period, Kill ‘Em All (1983) and Ride the Lightning (1984) were released. To wrap up the list, I’ve included a list of the effects used by each guitarist, and where possible, the settings for those too. Each section includes the albums and any remarkable live shows during that period, the guitars used most frequently, the amp setup each one used and the general amp settings for both James and Kirk. The method that makes the most sense is to break the list up by periods in the band’s history where James’ and Kirk’s equipment has remained pretty consistent.
