What should my amp settings be?
The treble is best kept on around 6 or lower, or it can become a bit too sharp. You may want to increase the treble a bit more if you're using high gain, to try and give your tone a bit more clarity. Having the bass on around 5 is a good place to start because it makes your tone thick but without being too muffled.
How do you get James Hetfield tone?
The tight, high-gain of channel three is just what you need for a Hetfield tone, but with some careful EQ you should be able to nail all eras of his tone. The switchable power output makes it suitable for a variety of contexts, the lowest 10-watt setting still loud enough to peel paint off the wall.
