Hey, everyone!

I'm looking to get the sort of tone AC has on the "love it to Death" album. Particularly from "Black Juju".

I'm not sure where to start. No idea what amps the 2 guitarists used, but whatever it was, it sounds like it's cranked. It's a darker, bassy kind of drive, sounds very rounded off, too. I'm thinking there's a compressor in there somewhere, but that old skool honky kind of drive eludes me. There's definitely some room reverb going on, too.

From the album jacket photos, it looks like they played a Les Paul w/bigsby, and an SG with 3 pickups.

I own a v1 MIII, and a Super Champ x2. I also have a Schecter LP custom-alike with a soapbar in the neck, and that's where I think I'll start. It's an all mahogany flat top, w/o the traditional LP maple cap, so it's nice and warm sounding.

Any ideas/advice on how to proceed? Amp models, eq tricks, etc. All would be welcome!

Thanks!
