I'm attempting to get the master of puppets iconic distortion for my guitar. I've gotten decently close, but I'm not satisfied yet. I currently have:
RP70 FX pedal
-Distortion On (E9)
-Bass: 9
-Mid: 0
-High: 9
-Compressor: 20
-No wah/chorus/flanger/ect.
-expression , delay, reverb all off.
Acoustic B20 Bass Amp
-60% Treb
-0 H Mids
-0 L Mids
-70% Bass
Johnson electric guitar, old, strat, given to me by my uncle, no clue what model
-pickups down
-both tone knobs up
-Ernie Ball Strings

Any help will be appreciated.

Try playing through a guitar amp, and not cutting out the mids like a metalcore f*****t.

Well I dont /have a guitar amp, Ill look into one.
And I looked this up before, said that the metallica sound from that album was 0 mids.

90% of the time, when some one says set your mids at 0 you have no idea what they are talking about. Metallica is a serious as ******** band, they use serious amps, most of which have like 5 EQ settings at least. Probably even use a lot of 10 band Graphic EQs I'd bet.

Get a line 6 if you wana sound like every one else. They have presets for pretty much every major musician out there.
Why do you want to sound exactly like someone else?

Covering songs, learning songs, ect.

You could like... I don't know write your own songs. Or cover stuff while not even sounding like the person you're covering. People do stuff like that all the time.

Putting your own flair to a cover is honestly a lot more fun and creative than trying to sound exactly like it in my opinion.

Food for thought.

Actually I do write my own songs. I use a different distortion for that.
Ill look into a line 6, after I get my dean dave mustaine V

Well I really dislike dean as a brand, and it's not really that it's bad, just really over priced for what you get. All Signature models are like that.

Here's like five really good guitars you can get for less than the price of that Dean. (based on the price I saw on musician's friend.)
IMO they are all probably better than the Dave V.

(And as a note, I have a flying V, and they are pretty uncomfortable, and I don't recommend the body style. I'm thinking about trading it in for a PRS, or a DNKY maybe honestly.)

I'll take a look at them when my computer's not shitting out.
What about the V is uncomfortable? I usually play standing up, rather than sitting anywho, only problems I've heard about them are that they seem to slide off your leg.
The Dean I saw was new on amazon for about 200-250$ Since I can't get to the links you posted due to comp crapping out, would you mind giving a price range to look for?

The one I saw was $1005. So you were probably looking at a fake.
Most of the guitars I posted are in the 500-700 dollar range, other than they KE3 I believe is 999.
Even standing up with most Vs they lean in towards you so the body isn't Perpendicular to your arm any more. And they tend to be top heavy and nose dive when you let go of them. A lot of Gibson based bodies do that cuz they put the strap pin on the side above the neck instead of behind the neck where it's supposed to be.
