Ritchie Blackmore?

Has anyone had good results trying to duplicate his 70's-era tone? He is rumoured to have used a Vox AC30 which was slaved to a Marshall Major that featured an extra pair of power tubes. The front end of the Vox was driven (early on) by a treble booster, and later in the 70's by a reel-to-reel tape recorder.

So, where to begin? Would it make sense to go delay > ac30 > plexi(?) > cab?

Has anyone tried this?

I'd also like to find nice Uli Roth and Rory Gallagher strat tones in my Ultra...

I've gotten pretty good results for a Machine Head tone with the AC30 and the treble booster. I use it with my Strat.

According to his old tech, the Vox amps where only used in smaller places. On the big stage and in the studio, it was modded Marshall Majors usually.
