Today i dug out my Extreme CD "Pornograffitie" album and realised how good the guitar sound is and what a player Nuno is. It must have been about 6 years since i last listened to that album. Anyone know how to get close to this sound, i know Nuno used to use a Washburn guitar but i havent a clue what amps were used etc for the album.

yeah, it's a 1 slot pre-amp. Metallica also used them on the Black Album. they're actually pretty cheap, and there's a ton of mods documented out there. The sound is similar to a 5150 - very saturated, harmonic rich distortion, but fast and tight - the distortion is mid/treble focused.
there are some ADA MP-1 profiles out there, but you might get closer with a 5150 or a Mesa Boogie Mark III or maybe even some kind of boosted Marshall.

Never heard of them, just googled it and it looks like rack gear.
Awesome bit of kit mate, had 1 in my rack back in the day, sound of the late 80's early 90's

ADA MP-1
Had one for a couple of years before changing to the ADA MP2 unit. Excellent Distortion, as meambobbo said fast and tight. My old Rackgear including the MP2 is still available as i sold it to a buddy. I guess soon i'll be profiling again...

type 'nuno' in the search field of the Rig Exchange
also try 'porno'...
...in the Rig Exchange! in the Rig Exchange!!!p.s.
I like the 'NB 100 Pornograffitt' (sic) from Kalvitz.com a lot! -
just watch out because Nuno has a signature amp from Randall now, so it's easy to find Randall NB 100 profiles instead of Pornograffiti-inspired Nuno tones. as you may be aware, his Porno tone was pretty different from all his other albums.

That's really the only album I've heard by him but I wouldn't mind checking some of his other stuff out such a great player

Nuno is my favourite guitarist alive. Very technically accomplished but it everything is so musical and tasteful which is incredibly rare in my opinion!!!!
Check out his 'mourning widows' stuff. He plays drums, sings etc. Trully amazing... -
I have an ADA MP1 NUNO LEAD profile here. Not sure it's from RE though.
In case, feel free to PM me -

I ran into Nuno once at the mall!
I'm probably the only person who prefers his acoustic playing to his rock playing. 'More than Words' and 'Whole-Hearted' are great tunes. -
Use the ADA MP1 3TM profile - not sure off the top of my head who did it, if you can't find it let me know and I'll check.
Dial back a little of the gain, and you'll be there if using a superstrat with Floyd.

I still have an ADA Mp1 in the basement. I haven't used it in years. Should fire it up some time and try and profile it.
