What kinda sound are you after? sounds like you’re after some AC/DC style crunch? I don’t have any specific recommendations but would suggest looking at some “Marshall in a box” type things that aim to get you the cranked Marshall sound. Maybe one with two stages so you can chonk out the Malcolm riffs then step on a boost for the Angus widdles.
All that classic ackerdacker stuff is actually quite low gain with all the thump and sag coming from a big amp cranked up to 11 through a big cab. It’s hard to replicate at living room level but a few things claim to have a stab at it.
yeah having done some reading, seems they eschew pedals / effects entirely for the most part. having a 12 marshalls turned up as far as they can go arrayed behind you is gonna do the job - achieving a similar effect with shonky parctice amp is never really gonna get you close...

I’ll do some digging
