+1. And a Treble booster?
Indeed. Why on earth would an AC 30 need a treble booster?

lol, yeah not the best huh.
Can you post some of your lead vocals or just the name of some your platinum records? I want to see how it really should be done

Funny, I was going to reply that all the live clips of Coverdale with DP I have ever heard he sounded horrendous.
I think he is a great singer but I've not heard a good live recording with him in DP.
I didn't start listening to them really until later on (Perfect Strangers), but for me Gillain is really the only singer.

Back to the OP

I think a bit of a brush on what he actually used and what people think he used is in order.
Nearly every rock player who ever used an AC30 in the 70's used a treble booster. Rory Gallagher, Blackmore, Brian May....... etc....... etc
They really worked well for me. But for me they require using the gtr vol and gtr tone controls with vintage / low output pickups wired "50's style". In that config the treble booster is really a pretty cool piece of kit.
In FW17.04, I used the Fractal Treble Booster in just such a setup with Concert brown fender amp sim. Wonderful to play.
Couple of great BBC videos on the history of the AC30;
It certainly has been given the G3 treatment. I don't use this amp a lot but here you go....
Treble boosters in Voxes are generally used with the Normal channel, which is basically just half a 12AX7 and no tone controls - a dull sounding channel.
Wouldn't think they would be used to much with a Top Boost channel (another gain stage, cathode follower & tone controls).
After hearing this, I am not sure about Coverdale ;-)

It's AC30 into Ownhammer v30 V3 IR (random one as I've literally just finishing downloading them) bit of delay and bit of verb. Kick in the Treble Boost after a while and then knock the bass up a little towards the end...
I'm no expert with this amp so go easy
Oh yeah and the guitar is a slightly out of tune Les Paul.....
