Zoom MultiFX Guitar Patch in style of Metallica James Hetfield “Nothing Else Matters” clean ballad guitar
The most iconic clean ballad tone sounds very acoustic, but is played on electric guitars. The disctinct timbre is sculpted with a chorus for that glassy feel and other effects that help the highs shine. Look later in the video for short demos of 8 pickup configurations (also humbucker style).
Audio is a direct recorded Strat with Fender Tex-Mex pickups: Neck pickup demo first, then other.
NOTES:My goal is not to use the exact simulations of effects, amps etc. that the artist would use, but to get closest to the tone (even using the effects in an unusual way).
