I play Malcolm in an AC/DC tribute band http://www.kcdcrocks.com
A friend of mine was asking about why I use an AXE FX instead of an old-school plexi with a 4x12. I told him that I felt I could approximate the tone with my AXE well enough and that its more portable, consistent, volume-friendly and flexible than a halfstack rig. Being a skeptic, I made him a clip and emailed it to him...thought I'd share it on a few forums too:

I'm a newbie when it comes to making recordings. There is no processing at all...just plugged my AXE out into my Apple via Duet going to Garage Band program then converted to mp3 thru itunes.
Its a simple patch on my AXE: amp > graphic EQ > cab > parametric EQ > filter > reverb
Normally I don't use reverb on my tone for Malcolm stuff, but I do for the intro of this song. BTW, my band tunes down a 1/2 step...which makes it sound a bit darker than the AC/DC version...but still, IMO, it approximates the tone.
