1. Any song by any artist can be selected
2. Backing tracks are allowed as long as your guitar is easily audible over the track
3. Sound/Video clip provided for your contest entry must be at least 30 seconds long. Solos are not necessary unless the solo is the tone you are attempting to duplicate. If this is the case, the entry can be less than 30 seconds long if the solo is less than 30 seconds long.

I vote Master of Puppets by Metallica.
*pushes preset Master of Puppets button on Spider Valve*

jkjk. I don't think I'm going to enter because I'm still dicking around with my amp to figure out how to get all the tones I want. If someone can figure out how to get me closer to an A7X tone, I'll be a happy camper.

I'm interested to see how this contest goes though!

I know. I have, but no one can agree. I've seen like ten completely different settings, and none of them are really "wrong" because their songs use different tones, but they're not the one I'm looking for. I've messed around with it and gotten close, but it sounds a little washed out. There's so many settings with all the distortion modelings and stuff. Just gotta keep trying. I'll nail it eventually :P

I'm in. Can I use my past videos that have already been recorded, or would I have to make a new one?

Damn I wish I still had my ATX. I could nail slipknot tone. We could do psychosocial (solo not necessary, I know some might not be able to play it) and everybody with a 7 string would only have to drop the low B down 1 step. Or down with the sickness by disturbed. That song is fairly simple, not dropped too much either. I think I'll do both of them.

Beast and the Harlot. Just figured it out a few days ago.

Avenged Sevenfold should be banned, imo. Just cause so many of you have syn guitars and amps with preset sevenfold tones
