With the use of an attenuator to play at reasonable volumes, can I get a Slash tone from a Plexi? Basically, can a Plexi imitate a JCM800 or is there not enough gain in the Plexi?
Appetite For Destruction was recorded with a 1959T metal face, not quite a Plexi very very similar circuit. His was modded for an extra gain stage so you'd need a pedal for the stock model to get that tone.
