Hey everyone!
I am chasing after getting the "Metallica Sound"... JH one.
I own a Dual Rec, TS9, and a Boogie 5 Band GEQ.
I know, that the early Metallica is all about Mark amps, but this is not what I have...
I am looking to get James' live tone, and some of the Black Album tones as well.
I am also considering buying the Diezel VH-4 Pedal, which I can use in the loop to maybe get some of his live tone.
Thanks everyone!
 
You won't get the sound of the Black album from a Rectifier. The Mark and Rectifier amps sound too different.

I got these settings directly from their tech back in the day....

These settings are taken from their amps at a show...

That is so cool man thank you!
I will check them!

I know that the Black Album is all about Mark, buy maybe the GEQ can help a bit.
 
Graphic EQ can be used to massage ANY tone, but a 5 band graphic EQ is an axe, when what you really need is a scalpel.

The more bands in the EQ, the better.

I use a 31 band (1/3 octave) graphic EQ, an Alesis DEQ-230 in my case.

Anything a 5 band EQ can do, a 31 band EQ can do MUCH better. It's a precision tone shaping tool that has capabilities that nothing else in your signal chain can even come close to matching.
