Hi guys,

Where do you guys think I would be best to start? Perhaps with one of the Fender models with a Tubescreamer and a touch of compression in the signal chain?

Welcome to The Amp Garage! The search for that tone and feel leads many of us members to the gates of insanity. If it could be done with a POD, the Dumble Forum would be defunkt.
Good luck on your qwest. There's lots of experience shared here.

Thanks for your reply and welcome. I know it'll never be done with modelling, ever, but perhaps it may come close.

Try 46 and 39 for a start.

Thanks M Folwer. Actually I found a few patches on the Line 6 site so I'll see if I can come up with anything and post a clip!
