Kirk doesn’t use a lot of effects pedals other than wah and overdrive. His primary overdrive during the early days of Metallica was the Boss Super Overdrive. He later switched to the Ibanez TS9. Boss Super Overdrive Developed in close collaboration with the man himself, Dunlop have squeezed every inch on tonal know-how from Kirks brain and produced the KH95 Signature Pedal. Meticulously tuned and tweaked to deliver the same iconic wah sound that revolutionized all of Metallica's metal solos, this pedal perfectly emulates that legendary tone that makes Kirk cut through the mix in true Metallica style.

From the first album right up to today, Kirk has had a TS9 in his rig. He uses the TS9 to tighten up the front end of his guitar amps overdrive channel. This is a common use for this pedal. The TS9 does not have much gain of it’s own, but when put as a boost infront of an already overdriven amp, it gives a very tight and refined metal tone.

This yellow box of overdrive fury is one the most famous overdrive pedals out there. It’s very popular as a boost, as it’s very clean at low gain, and gives a really focused and tight boost. It’s got a different character than a tubescreamer, and it’s just as good as any other overdrive. Ibanez TS9 Kirk is known for being the lead guitarist of legendary band Metallica. He’s been in the band since 1983, and can be heard on every single Metallica album to date.

Though folks on the internet – and even his Metallica lead guitar predecessor– have given Hammett plenty of grief about his consistent use of wah, the guitarist simply doesn't care. Kirk has used the wah on a multitude of solos, including Enter Sandman, No Remorse, Master of Puppets and Memory Remains. He uses it on almost every solo, and this what led to the ‘Kirk Wahmmett’ trend. Dunlop KH95 From the early days of Metallica, Kirk had two main pedals that he used that are well documented. Across the Master of Puppets album there is lots of modulation and other effects that can be heard but there are no detailed listings of any of that gear. Kirk most likely used a Chorus pedal of some sort. With the time of the album you can probably assume it was a Boss chorus from the 1980s.
