One amp settings — Mooer GE100
The Metallica guitar tone for “One”, dialed in for a Mooer GE100 with a Fender Player Stratocaster. Studio version, ...And Justice for All (1988) — signature heavy machine-gun rhythm riff
Mesa/Boogie Mark IIC+ (slaved into Marshall power section, 5-band EQ V-curve), ESP Explorer / Jackson King V (EMG 81 bridge humbucker), Roland JC-120 for clean passages

01Mooer GE100 DS Block (TUBE DRV / TS Model)
Clean boost mode placed before the amp block to tighten the low end and add pick transient cut
02Mooer GE100 NS Block (Noise Gate)
Essential for the tight staccato machine-gun chugs without feedback hum
The Fender Player Strat single-coil bridge lacks the output and low-mid heft of Hetfield's active EMG 81, so the GE100 amp gain is pushed to 8 and the TS drive block is engaged as a clean boost to tighten transients. The classic Mark IIC+ 'V-curve' graphic EQ scoop is replicated by dropping the amp block mids to 3 while keeping treble high at 8 for the signature razor cut. For the clean intro passages, bypass the DS block and switch to the JAZZ 120 amp model with chorus enabled.
