This THE tone for me.

The rather excellent FREE, and the legend that is Paul Kossoff. This is the ultimate tone for me. Just listen to the guitar, especially during I'll be creeping and Alright now. Unreal. Ive got kinda close on my blackstar HT40 and im currentlly putting together a tone on my Pod HD 500X im getting close. But what an unreal talent Koss was.

Nothing like the sound of an LP though an old Marshall....especially played by Paul Kossoff.

A humbuckered LP, SG, V, etc through NMV Marshalls and 4x12's have always had the tone. I grew up playing rock on those rigs in the late 60's early 70's and nothing comes close. Standing on front of a stack or halfstack, "feeling" the sound and letting it interact with your guitar's strings, produces a glorious swell of feedback that is music all in itself. I always smile when folks tell me their low wattage, preamp overdriven, amp sounds like a NMV Marshall. Once they stand in front of a true plexi or early metalpanel NMV stack, the eye and ear opening moment is something they never forget. It is basically all I play. Nothing else seems to fill my needs. The first notes of Mr Big (at 4:44) define the dynamics of a restrained NMV Marshall ready to grab a crowd by their cajones for the evening.

Absolutely love that tone. And no one plays it like Kossoff.

Yep, we must be of the same generation and background as guitar players - I share the same experience and opinion

A'int nothing like the real thing...
