Angus BIB era tone pointers?

[jtcnj]

Can anyone help me with Angus tone on You shook me all night Long?
Close / same vibe?

Especially the opening G C? D chord riffs?
I up the mids, start low on gain and go up, then keep dialing back the treble and / or guitar tone knob but it gets muffled/ drowned sounding.

I dont think he is playing all 5 strings on the G (the A is muted)

With a plain old Marshlly flavored tube amp an maybe an OD pedal?
I get good earlier LEt there be rock / Powerage with the amp and Daddy 'O, with either EL84 or 6L6GC amps.
Not spot on but close / same vibe.

I play a derivative of a 'g' on that song that really isn't a chord at all. I also use a Csus4 and Dsus4.

Lots of great You Tube lessons on the subject.

Ok...tone is subjective, but Angus runs very little gain and uses a compressor/ treble boost effect from the Schaffer Wireless.

I think this is close - no dirt pedal, just tubes:

These amp settings might help:



All the best...
