I have mesa rectifier(clone) and v30 cab.
Which eq settings i should use to get closer to their tone?
 
The majority of his sound came from a combination of a JCM 800 and plexi blended. Don’t know what cabs or speakers he used, but I do know they were both micd with sm57’s/MD421’s summed into one channel of a Neve 8068 and ran through an “army man” compressor, then to tape.

It’s hard to nail his studio tone with just a dual rec imo. Even though he’s seen using them live.
 
Didn’t he end up touring with JVM’s, or am I thinking of those Mode 4 ads he did?
 
I was going to say I always thought his tone was a little old school so I was going to guess JCM 800 with a boost.
