needing of HX stomp advice

Hello, I've been trying to make some tones of my favorite metal bassists since my previous tones got deleted by accident, currently I'm not really getting a hold of my tone creating capabilities, mainly with EQ balancing (knowing what is too much) and order of blocks, usually I place my blocks as: Comp/limit, distortion, pre-amp simulator, amp simulator.

My main goal is the Ride The Lightning tone. I know it's overplayed to hell and back, but I really feel that it sounds strongest with something akin to that.

P.S.: Could you potentially suggest other (preferably finger-styled) bassists to look into for tone? I'd be down to experiment!

Amp: Fender Rumble 100
Bass: Player Plus PJ (lefty)
Rig: Bass - Morley Fuzz wah 20/20 - HX stomp - Amp.
