Pedal to get cliff burton sound

I have seen a pic with a green tube screamer type pedal too.
In the Joel Mciver book it talks about a red pedal as well.

However, as mentioned above, a big muff and Morley power wag boost should do it.
I use the ibanez weeping demon, and a boss hm2 for my 'inspired by cliff' sounds
 
I use a Big Muff Russian in front of my Cry baby 105Q, add a tiny overdrive with my MXR M80, just to shape definition on my Fuzz and finaly a reverb with a Holy grail.
The only thing that I can't reproduce, is the heavy sweep attacks that the old Tel-Ray Morley does.
in short, try to get a Tel-Ray Morley PWB or PWF.
