Kirk Hammett is the lead guitarist for the biggest heavy metal band of all time: Metallica. Kirk’s solos are a crucial part of Metallica’s dominating sound, and he has relied on ESP for more than two decades to make him guitars that meet his every need.

Hammett’s current live sound comes via a Fractal Axe-Fx unit that takes a blend of his Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier and the Meathead – a six-channel, MIDI-programmable behemoth that was designed by Mike Fortin and produced under the Fortin Amps name and by Randall as the 667.
