Well, he doesn't remember. It's that simple. I ve shared both photos of James and the video saying it was a mark IV.

cool man. Bob rock said it was a 3. Maybe you should call him and let him know what it really was.

It’s all good..just add the III to the previous list of multiple amps used to record that tone. That’s been a pretty common practice for many great tones we all love.
I don’t believe for one second it was only a III used.

I don’t find that weird really. He must have been involved in hundreds of recording sessions through the years. Must be impossible to remember every little detail. Maybe he confuses it with Sykes who used Mark III’s. This guy also seem to be of the idea that Bob doesn’t really remember everything that clearly.

So,
Is Het's dumping the BBE sonic maximizer for a ADA Digital EQ rack still correct?
If so,I cant wait to see the prices of those go through the roof.

Here's a couple of big fancy facts about the period of time during which the black album was recorded:
1. Mark II's, III's, and IV's existed.
2. Metallica had access to all of them.
They're probably all on the record in one way or another.

Never seen anything about them using BBE sonic maximizer. But they used B&B Aphex EQF-2 parametrics. And Hetfield still had those in the live rack together with the ADA MQ-1 for the black album tour.

Well, there you go, another thing he got wrong. I’m sure he meant B&B, because that’s a big part of the sound of both Puppets and Justice. It’s all In Flemming Rasmussens pretty detailed notes from the sessions. As well as in pics from the studio. It can be seen on the TBA sessions as well.

This sounds like the beginning of a pretty cool deep dive! Not just the amps but preamps , eqs, the console etc...
BBE was also on Pornografitti I thought. They get flack for hyping frequencies but i had one for a while and ditched it because it felt like cheating. It sounded good though no question.
