    Through the course of touring, James Hetfield’s beloved Marshall Super Lead (used on Kill ‘Em All) was stolen. The amp was a modded ‘70s Marshall Super Lead, and given the varying nature of vintage amps and one-off mods, it would prove impossible to replace. In addition to the lack of availability, one other factor made securing new gear problematic - the band was flat broke.

    Metallica entered the studio in early 1984 to record Ride the Lightning, choosing Sweet Silence Studios and producer Flemming Rasmussen partially because they enjoyed his production on Rainbow’s Difficult to Cure, but the locale also had one additional advantage - it was a cheap alternative the band could afford. Borrowing amps, sleeping in the studio and living day-to-day, Metallica recorded and released Ride the Lightning in July 1984 with everyone in the metal community taking notice, including Elektra Records.

    Elektra signed Metallica in the fall of 1984, and with the new label came the financial means to acquire new gear. The band received an advance (i.e., a lump sum of money upon signing the contract) and knew exactly what they wanted to purchase - new Mesa Boogie amps. Wanting to shy away from the Marshall based guitar tones that had become the standard for rock and metal, Metallica turned to local CA manufacturer Mesa Boogie, whose amps they had tried, but were previously unable to afford.
