I've got a recording rig stashed away at the moment so I can't really test the following: I've got a Quad preamp and I want to use the Lead 2 channel (Mark III copy) to achieve that late 80s Justice, and Heathen tone (Victims of Deception). I'm not sure if this will be doable with the Quad or if getting a Mark III itself will be the way to go.
It sounds like they at least dual tracked, if not quad tracked the guitars on Victims of Deception since it sounds MONSTROUS. Playing the Quad pre alone doesn't quite give me the illusion of the tone I'm talking about, so I'm thinking it's either a matter of tracking a few takes and panning them when my recording rig is back up and running, or maybe it's just the Quad not matching it precisely.

There's similar stuff all over And Justice For All as well.
I'll be testing myself in the future but I wanted to check here. I might try to acquire a Mark III solely to get this tone because I love it . I'll see if the Quad can match it though. Now I've got to find out which color/stripe model would be the best to match it.
