randy used an mxr distortion plus to modify his sound a little, as well as an eq pedal, a volume, chorus, delay, etc....also, the dsl head (i have one too) is a pretty good start, but its not quite the same sound as randy's marshall. i'd really listen hard, and depending on how loud you're playing (tube heads act differently at different volume levels) you should find that the louder you go, the less gain you need to get randy's sound. from there, i'd recommend turning your treble way up, and keeping your bass maybe about two thirds of the way up, and your mids around the same spot, marshalls tend to have a ton of mid anyhow, so even when you're putting the mids up less than the others, you're still gonna have a lot. then just use the mxr pedal (or you could use a boss metal zone or mega distortion or something) to kinda "rat" the sound up a little. not a lot, but you want to get that "grit" and a little bit of that "brittle" kinda sound. i love randy to death, but i dont know how else to describe that sound. it sounds like if it was a physical thing, you could use it to scrape and cut things. lol.
good luck man!

enable me basically factor out. C.C. DeVille would not should be said interior the same sentence with those different greats. Randy Rhoads is my personal well known out of all of those guitarists, he's the single which inspired me to play guitar. with the help of ways, I do like C.C. DeVille, he heavily isn't this deserving.

You know I used to know about that stuff, but I just don't remember.
Randy Rhodes was the sound I was trying to get too, and I got pretty close.
I haven't played in so many years, I just forgot about it all.
