can somebody post mesa single rectifier clips i wanna see if is true that they can nail the metallica black album tone/distortion

thaks alot

I'm not too farmiliar with metallica, but my drummer showed me some stuff. I'll post a little clip soon.

from : localhost/is with the master set to about 2, so the distortion is going to sound a little 'sharper' than I want it too. It's also miced with a condenser as I'm using my SM 57 to sing through where we jam. Just some sinpets. I haven't listened to any metallica in soo long I really don't know what to go for, lots of bass, few mids, palm mutes

Custom 5 bridge of a strat, master on about 2, vintage mode, single recto. The Custom 5 is wired with 500K pots which make it pretty bright and let too many highs through for my tastes. But, like I said, I tried

thanks , i think it sounds too muddy or bassy i wanna hear something more clear/trebly , anyone else?????????

thanks man !!!!!!!

I though there was too much,

Bump up the mids a little and add some prescence to clear it up and it'll be in the ballpark of Metallica... just my opinion

Rombola... I believe Metallica was using Mark IVs at the time, so the Rectoverb will get close (it's versatile) but I don't know if it'll nail the tone...

rectoverb its the same thing as the rectifier just with reverb right??

No, the Rectoverb doesn't have quite as much gain and has a quot;smoother/sweeterquot; sound than a standard recto. Sounds better to me, but I'm not a fan of either.

Its pretty much the same as the single recto. The difference in sound probably comes from the rectoverb being a combo and the single recto just being a head so speaker, cabinet combinations will make a difference.
