I own a Lee Jackson XLA500-50 watt head. It sounds like a modded JCM800. But it's missing that scooped metal tone when I cut the mids out. I was thinking of adding an equalizer (or 4) to the effects loop in the "v" setting to cut out the midrange frequencies. I think Metallica did that (pre Dual Rectifier days) to thier amps. I think they used Boogie Calibers (amongst others) Anyway...any suggestions. Is there a particular equalizer that would work better than others???

Re: Looking for that scooped metal tone......
Furman PQ-3... Awesome scoop and very amplike natural sounding. Just a little noisy, but fine with that amp for sure...
Around $100. I just bought one for 93 dollars..
I use it with my CAE 3+se and VHT2150... I'm very pleased... -

Boss GE-7 in the effects loop v'd out. Put it on the floor and you can also use it as a solo boost.Comment

Re: Looking for that scooped metal tone......
Check out the Furman PQ-3 that Cleve mentioned and a BBE Sonic Maximizer. BTW Metallica used Mesa/Boogie Mark II C+ amps with Furman PQ-3s back in the Puppets days, so hopefully that will help ya out.Comment
