Hi I’m new to guitar and just bought a Line 6 spider IV 15 watt and I’m trying to figure out how to get the sound for the and justice for all album by Metallica. I also have seen some people saying that the tuning for one is Eb tuning but I have also seen people say it’s in standard so I’m not sure about that

#

The tuning isn’t e standard and it isn’t Eb either it is half way in-between the 2

#

It is quarter step down

Thank you

This is all it says for it but my amp doesn’t have numbers or lines that indicate what the tone knobs are set to how do I figure that out

Put it to 430 and tune to E standard that will be close enough

sand rock .

U said u wanted the and justice tone not the tone for the intro to one

#

One is a clean Intro w some chorus

#

Play the machine gun part of one and it will sound better

#

Clean channel
Bass 5
Mids 3
Highs 6
Gain 5 ish

slight chorus

#

That is for the one intro

#

Ur looking for this tone

#

That is something different then the distorted tone

sand rock Nov 28, 2025, 4:33 PM

Ok thank you

sand rock Oh nvm it only goes up to 450

you could also do just normal hz and put it where its the last line left on the chromatic tuner but just not low enough for it to say D# or Eb
