Marshall. Slash. AmpliTube. The three Kings of Tone join forces in the Custom Shop

[Peter - IK Multimedia]

As far as Mr GilmoUr goes, if you take a sample of his live pedalboard setup 1973-1975 (Dark Side forward, since the future boards apparently kept in line with this type of set up, even the Cornish stuff according to the site I always look to and from which I got this list since I couldn't remember offhand) you either have or can approximate it with AmpliTube:

Dallas Arbiter Fuzz Face (BC108)
Vox wah wah (1973)
Cry Baby wah wah (1974-75)
Colorsound Power Boost
Univox Uni-Vibe
MXR Phase 90 (added in 1974)
DeArmond volume pedal

Dallas Arbiter Fuzz Face (for lap steel guitar, 1974-75)
DeArmond volume pedal (for lap steel guitar, 1974-75)

Binson Echorec II
Binson Echorec PE 603
EMS Synthi Hi-Fli guitar effect processor
Conn Strobo Tuners (added in 1974)
EMS Synthi A (On the Run)

Above is straight from http://www.gilmourish.com/?page_id=16

And the amps and cabs (from the same page) can also be approximated and the amp in AT is the 103 as well plus we've done the Leslie too:

4 Hiwatt DR103 All Purpose 100W heads
- with Mullard 4xEL34's power tubes and 4xECC83's pre-amp tubes. Two main heads and one spare. In 1973 there was also a fourth head that powered David's front stage monitors.
Alembic F-2B tube preamp
- Added summer '74, Leslie preamp.
Leslie 147 speaker cabinet
4 WEM Super Starfinder 200 cabinets
- with 4×12" Fane Crescendo speakers with metal dust caps.
2 Hiwatt SE-4123 cabinets
- with 4×12″ Fane Crescendo speakers. Radio City Music Hall, NY USA, 17 March 1973.

On sale for a few more days & dont have much time to demo. Wondering if anyone can comment on if these amps still hold up vs the Marshall tones in AT4. Must say I haven't really gotten a tone I like from the AT4 marshalls yet, but might be my lack of patience when dialing in tones, haha. Or perhaps I just prefer Oranges to apples.. I mean Marshalls?

What's your definition of the "Marshall Tone?" I'm a big fan of the JCM-800 sound, crunchy with lots of gain, but not too much. Definitely not a metal amp (at least by today's standards). Sounds great with lots of mids. That tone is way off from a JTM, JCM900 or 2000, or even the DSL, TSL amps. So if the 800 is the type of tone you want then yeah, the Slash package does it much better than any of the other AT4 Marshalls.

Anyway, as you can probably tell, I dig the JCM800 sound. So much so, that I recently picked up a Laney AOR 30, which is a 30 watt combo based on a hot-rodded JCM-800 circuit. I replaced the original Fane speaker with a Celestion Vintage 30 and I couldn't be happier with it. For the $300 and change the amp cost, I gotta think it's one of the best values in tube amps.

Hey nice score with the Laney AOR. Those are definitely sweet. I can hear the Marshall lineage and British flavor but feel the Laney might be a tad bit "tighter" and more modern sounding and less spongey than a JCM 800. Basically like a modded JCM. Both definitely can nail the same great tones in the right hands.
