Highway to Hell

Same AC/DC formula — cranked Marshall-style amp, mid-forward, no scooping. Neural DSP Archetype Nolly gets close with a JCM800 model.

The album pairs Malcolm Young’s almost-clean Gretsch rhythm sound through a modified Marshall Super Bass with Angus Young’s dirtier Gibson SG through a Marshall 2203/Super Lead-family rig. Tony Platt also used room ambience to enlarge the guitars, while the precise control positions were not preserved, so the values below are approximated from the documented album equipment.
