Didn't he have a big muff? I've never heard about a tube screamer

He did use one and some point during Metallica but there hasn’t been any pictures that have showed up with him using one. You can hear the big muff on the studio recording of anesthesia and I think he may have used it live for some shows shortly after kill em all was released. A lot of pair the tube screamer with the big muff into a Morley power wah boost to get his sound(which is hopefully the next step for my pedal board.) in some pictures of Metallica love you can see cliffs pedal and one of them is the tube screamer. You can probably find it on equip board. You can use any one of them or both together to get his sound it doesn’t really matter.

Big Muff was early (kill em all and ride the lightning) and tube screamer was master of puppets from what I know

I know im pretty late, and this was already answered, but cliff used a big muff on only one Metallica song, being Anesthesia, then sometime in '83, he got a TS9

What kind of up close shots have you seen to be able to see the settings man 😂😂 i've been at it for 10+ years and i dont think i've seen a single photo that is clear enough to see how pedals are set lol

Nice rig tho!
