But i use a fender amp ( all valve) so i just ran it clean with an old Marshall drive master pedal (basically a jcm 800 in a box) .When i ran both mxr dist plus with the marshall drive master pedal it started to sound like Randy....
Thats interesting . I think it must be the 10 band eq too . Look at this i saw it yesterday on Tami Forwards Facebook
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fl-RzSYHkY4#t=21 this bloke seems to have it quite close ( the tone) i have seen his spotlight solo done better but its still very good....
He says he recorded it using
Guitar : Polka Dot Flying V was painted by me.
Pick up(Bridge) : DiMarzio superdistortion.
Amp : Marshall Super Lead 100 '71. Vol 6, the others are 10.
Pedals : MXR Distortion+ and MXR EQ.
Sound Recording : ROLAND VS-1680.
Mic : Shure Beta-57.
Video editing : Corel Video Studio Ver 12 plus.
Did you notice he was only using a 6 band mxr eq? not 10 band?
