I’m trying to nail down a preset for sanitarium modulated intro. I can get somewhat close but just not quite there I love that sound. Is there anything close available that anyone knows about?
Old school Metallica

Isn't that some kind of 12 string instrument?

No it’s a 6 string electric modulated with chorus & flanger I think but I can’t get there & it’s driving me nuts

I know they used Roland JC amps for cleans back in the day, maybe try getting a profile on that amp and add some chorus on it. I know TAF (The Amp Factory) has that model and it's got a fair price tag as well. Never played one but sounds really convincing to me

"I like the intro for 'Sanitarium.'
"If you listen carefully, you put headphones on, we actually do the guitars in the beginning in mono - it's actually recorded like that.
"And then when the drums come in I just flick the switch and it goes into stereo."
Pretty sure it was the JC-120 on this. Also, I believe one side was straight clean and the other side had a tremolo effect. If you can snag the Guitar Hero (or maybe it was Rock Band?) multitracks, you can get a better feel for what's going on in the double-tracked clean intro.
HTH!

Hi
Try picking the string right in front of the bridge to get that hard piano like tone. this is the trick i read about years ago. i have a profile from somewhere that sounds pretty much like the M.O.P clean tone, try just chorus, delay and reverb. I've modded it slightly by adding a flanger for The Thing as well.

Nice tip, that should definitely change the tone to remove that mellow/flubby sound.

This is a late reply, but Pete (okstrat) has a great Metallica pack that nails this Sanitarium intro tone (amongst others)
