What I'd recommend is to take all of the pedals out of the chain and put them back in one at a time. This will identify where exactly the distortion happens, if you're still getting distortion without any effects then the problem is either before them i.e. your bass, or after them i.e. gain structure of your sound card/interface. If you get distortion using just the DI when the drive or blend is set to clean then it could be your power supply isn't delivering enough voltage and you're running out of clean headroom way before you should. It's time consuming, but it's guaranteed to work.

In their defence, both of those albums are incredible!

there is a third part to this equation...

Of course, given the resurgence of 'Puppetz' in Stranger Things they'd be foolish not to reference it it the video, but that's about the only thing of note in this. Lars playing 'Overkill' underneath Kirk and James playing Diamondhead riffs.

Valley Girl - FZ

These days, with long covid I'm not gigging at all. I miss it. Like most memories though, I suspect I'm not remembering the load-ins, waiting around, whizzed punters, ultra late nights and motorway service station meals.

6 underground - Sneaker pimps.

Shell Pink for me.

OK, I was a bit harsh on Rubber Soul - it's essentially the 'pivot' album between mediocrity and outstanding, but not a firm favourite of mine.

I like the Beatles from Revolver onwards - for me those albums represent the Beatles at their creative peak, catalysed by pioneering studio techniques. I rarely (if ever) listen to anything before this period as I find it all pretty insipid. YMMV.

WOW!! That grain just POPS OUT!!! that, sir, is a thing of beauty.

Christ. On a bike. I can't even.

What swung it for me (apart from being free) was the library of loops have a 5/4 section. You try finding prerecorded percussion loops in odd meter!!

Free 'fruit shaker' percussion plugin for Kontakt and Kontakt Player, not played with it yet, but who doesn't need more percussion, right?

Mex on fire?

Sounds like a really good Rat tuned for bass, but Lemmy? Not even close.

yes. 2 custom Jazz basses, one fretted, one fretless, and a P bass just 'cause.

Mellow Down Easy - Black Crowes

Mine cost me a fraction of that to make!

for AU (Apple/Logic plugin format) it'll be (hard drive name)\Library\Audio\Plugins\Components

The excellent 'Incesticide' by Nirvana, in particular this banger:

Raspberry Beret - 0+>

Lovetone Meatball. Love it!!
