I think that in that era of ABB, the guitars were going through Soldano SLO100 amps. Not sure what cabs they were using. Dickie Betts used to use Marshall cabs with JBL D120 speakers.
Wow! really?! I was expecting some 50 watt marshalls!!!
For Allman Brothers sound I use the Thick & Chunky preset and turn the volume down to 4 on my guitar. I use the neck humbucker on my PRS Swamp Ash Special. You can also turn the input on the preset down to get the same effect but to me using the factory preset and turning the guitar down sounds a tiny bit better.
Remember that the End of the Line era is also Warren Haynes, who loves his SLOs...
I'm new to the Allman Bros. Don't really know who is going on on which eras It's very weird that I didn't come up with them earlier. Shame.
I've started from their best of album lately.
Recommend me some albums if you can

Maybe this will help.
While this video is about custom harmonies from the sign Jessica, it does describe step-by-step how to build a a "Fillmore East" Allamsn brothers Les Paul sound. You can hear that great neck pickup tone in the video to know it's spot on.
Of course, PLAYING like Duane or Dickie, that's a separate issue!
I love the fact that a 50w Marshall stack wasn’t enough stage volume back then.These guys were always on the road. There's some good information out there, and some of it is surprising. A Marshall 1986, with a bassman OT... A Twin for reinforcement and/or stage-volume, etc.
I forgot to add, remember Jessica is Dickey Betts, on Brothers and Sisters, which was out over year after Duane's accident. If I recall, there's a tribute on the album cover, about Barry Oakley's passing.
