Which preset for the "Fade to Black" solos?

hi

I don't know if this thread is acceptable or not. please remove it if not. also, if there's a thread like this out already, let me know please. thanks.

I was wondering, which Guitar Rig 2 preset would you say works best for Kirk Hammets solos in the Metallica song "Fade to Black" from the album Ride the Lightning? I have tried alot of the presets, but I can't seem to find any that sounds like the original.

I'm new to Guitar Rig, so please no flaming

thanks

 

Could you not look up what Kirk uses in his rig during this period of Metallica using a website like guitargeek and then use the models in Guitar Rig2 to build one.

I thought he used a Mesa Boogie preamp like the Triaxis or the Studio, an Ibanez Tube Screamer to drive it hard and a Dunlop Wah. There is probably a bit more to it. But I reckon he keeps a fairly neat signal chain for his solo work.

Anyone else got any suggestions?

I know there a tons of Metal;lica fan sites with all his kit from that time listed, so we could probably build something close using Guitar Rig 2.

Let us know how you get on.

 

I *think* Kirk switches to the neck pickup and actually activates his wah pedal and leaves it toe-down during the solos.
