If you truly want that 80's hair band sound, take it from me... either buy a Marshall JCM 800 (Which is what most of us ran in those days, except for a few sissies who use boutique amps...) or go to Ebay and find a BBE sonic maximizer, ADA MP1, Alesis Multiverb, and of course Marshall tube power amp. Those are the 2 most popular 80's hairband setups.
