Credit goes to username 'mediaaddict' from Guitars101, I downloaded it from there. I myself have no clue about the details of this. Here's what 'mediaaddict' wrote about this tape :

I have to be a bit vague, but there's a bit of a story behind this tape. Karl Lundmark, who you know as one of the tapers I've done many transfers of recently, once went to Ron McGovney (Metallica's original bassist)'s house and made DAT tapes of many of his cassettes. How he pulled this off I'm not certain, but Karl had money from childhood, and that opens doors. The Old Waldorf show from October 18, 1982 is one of the tapes he copied, but the master of that is circulating, and I will not be uploading a version of this.

He did make a cassette of that show, though, and on the other side was this compilation of various riffs put together by the band, either as ideas for songs or for Ron to learn. I discovered this tape recently while cleaning out old storage space (also found my 1997 Buffalo DAT), and I offer this here uncut and with no tampering other than to level out the volume between the various clips and trim some silences between them.

Most of these riffs never got used, although I hear parts of Seek & Destroy, Whiplash and Ktulu, and there's a good chunk of a writing session for Ride the Lightning in here.

No tracklist, but I cut the tracks every time the tape was stopped and restarted.

Homemade effects loop and amp channel/effects footswitch

Arjan Frans 2011-06-06 | This is a short demo of the footswitch I made. It can change between two effects loops and change channels at the same time with one button. Another button can be set to turn the amp effects on and off. You can also just use the effects loop switch without changing channels at the same time. Both buttons can be set to change channel (but not at the same time).
