Mid scoop, metallica styles!
Depends all on your setup, amp and guitar. Recommended to use with duel-coil Humbucker pickups and a Marshall AMP or similar which has it's own overdrive. Else you could try effect pedals like the Line6 POD to get the tone. Boost the pre-amp up for overdrive distortion (10) and control the overall volume from the Master (2-3). If you have a second channel, set that to clean, low pre-amp. You will be toogling between them to clean up the softer parts of the music or roll back the volume knob on your guitar. Typical Metal Tone EQ: Bass (8.5) / Mid (5.6) / Treble (6.5) Metallica Trash Tone EQ: Bass (9.6) / Mid (2.8) / Treble (9.6) Add a slight amount of reverb to give it depth. Add effects on top to your taste - I use the POD XT with metal pack model installed for Hi Gain AMP models. I have the tones for Nothing Else Matters, Metallica - Black Album, etc. However, tweaked "Crime" setting is really dark, heavy sounding, the best I've heard for metal/rock on my setup (Les Paul Standard / Laney Harcore Amp) - I love it overall. If your really keen, swap out the tone pots from 500k (brights) to 300k (dark). It makes the biggest natural sounding difference from lead harmonics to dark bassy tones. Stellartone Tonestyler Tone pots give you the best of both without the fuzz.

It's hard to only rely on EQ. Try different pre amps, and cabinets. That will change the "brightness/darkness" of your tone dramatically.
Generally I prefer a good amount of mids on my sound -------------------- Visit my:
